Social Media Analysis. Human Remains Recovery. Geographic Information Systems. These are just a few of the exciting new summer-only courses that Clemson University has added for students during 2014 summer sessions.
Developed and taught by Clemson University faculty members, these new courses were funded by the Office of the Provost through the Clemson University Innovative Summer Proposal (CUISP) initiative last summer. The new courses will feature opportunities for Clemson University students to gain academic credit during the summer in an environment that features high student engagement. Students who attend summer sessions at Clemson benefit from the opportunity to focus on difficult courses, advance with their plan of study and add value to their degrees by taking advantage of our unique summer-only opportunities.
Please announce these courses to students in your classes as well as to advisors in your colleges.
