Washington State University is launching several new online courses to help students accelerate their education.
The courses will allow students to earn three credits in three weeks. They will run July 28-Aug. 19, between summer and fall semesters.
Two new six-week online sessions will be offered during summer, in addition to the regular 12-week courses. The sessions will run May 7-June 15 and June 18-July 27. About 40 six-week courses will be offered.
The new sessions are open to on-campus and online students. Priority registration for the sessions will open April 9. Summer registration is available through the WSU online portal zzusis. Registration for the new session is at Washington State University Intersession.
WSU’s first accelerated online session was in December 2010, when the university piloted a three-week online winter session. It was so popular that the university expanded the program in 2011.
