    A Selection of Unique Academic Credit Courses Offered at MSU this Summer

    A wide variety of special courses is available at MSU during Summer Session 2005. Many of these courses are offered only during the summer and take advantage of southwestern Montana’s natural environment; others provide professional development opportunities for teachers and coaches; still others offer international travel experiences. There’s a little something for everyone -- including selections in art, music, geology, history, languages, media production, fitness activities and study programs abroad.

    Course registration will take place through either the MSU Registrar or the Burns Telecom Center (BTC); the method of registration is noted with each course description. To enroll in Registrar courses, students must be admitted to MSU; BTC courses do not carry this requirement.

    Please note: This is not a complete listing of Summer Session courses. For all Registrar courses, refer to the online Schedule of Courses. For a listing of all Burns Telecom Center offerings, visit the BTC Web Site.
