Upcoming Events

Summer Link to College

August 5 - 9, 2008

Summer Link is a summer program for high school sophomores from partner schools who are going into their junior year. The program is a weeklong residential introduction to college life. Students attend a class each day taught by a University of Denver (DU) professor, as well as participate in educational and challenging workshops that motivate them to successfully complete high school and prepare them for the college application process. In addition, students volunteer for many community and cultural activities. The uniqueness of the program is in the follow-up activities, which continue until students graduate from high school.

Fall Interterm

August 15 - 31, 2008

Interterm is the period between quarters in which intensive on-campus, on-line and travel courses are offered in intensive formats to provide students with an alternative approach to learning. DU faculty create Interterm classes that are academically challenging and involve an experiential component. Most students who experience Interterm courses return for additional opportunities to enhance their experience. The courses may be taken for credit at current DU tuition rates. There are four Interterms each year, which are scheduled immediately after each quarter.
