2018 Summer Sessions Bulletin [ARCHIVED BULLETIN]

General Information


Not all courses conform to the standard session dates. Please see individual courses for exact dates. Subject to change.

Hofstra’s summer sessions attract more than 5,000 students and provide up to 18 semester hours of college course study. The information provided in this Bulletin pertains to the Frank G. Zarb School of Business, Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication, School of Education, School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Health Professions and Human Services, and Hofstra Northwell School of Graduate Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies. For information on the summer programs offered by the School of Law, visit this link.

The summer session program is part of the regular degree program of Hofstra University. Most classes are organized on a one-semester basis and are equivalent in method, content and credit to courses offered by the University during the regular academic year. Credits obtained in these courses may be applied toward the appropriate degrees conferred by the University and are generally accepted as transfer credits by other colleges and universities.

Undergraduate and graduate degree programs are offered during the day, in the late afternoon and in the evening. Both liberal arts courses and courses to increase competence in business, industrial and professional careers are available. Courses designed to provide special training for teachers and other groups are also offered.

While the course offerings are primarily designed to provide the opportunity for regularly enrolled students to accelerate their degree programs, special students and students from other colleges are welcome to register for all courses for which they are qualified.

Schedule and Instructor Changes

The University may find it necessary and reserves the right to cancel a course, to divide a class and to change instructors. For up-to-date information on course availability, classrooms, and instructors, please visit hofstra.edu/classlookup.
