To meet demand for affordable and convenient ways for students to keep on track with their academic progress, Mitchell College has launched a new Intersession offering with compressed, full-credit online courses. Mitchell students—and learners from the public—can earn 3 credits in just four weeks through flexible, fully online courses taught by full-time faculty experts.

Designed for flexibility and academic momentum, courses are delivered either asynchronously (work on your own schedule) or in a hybrid online format that includes one real-time virtual meeting per week.

The four-week Intersessions—offered in Winter and Summer—replace the Mitchell MiniMester, which ran for just two weeks. While the new timeframe is still compressed, extending the Intersession by two weeks provides greater convenience and flexibility for student schedules.

“Intersession is one of the most effective and economical ways for students to advance their academic goals in a short period of time,” said Amy Rumrill, registrar at Mitchell College. “If a student takes advantage of both the Winter and Summer Intersessions, they can earn an additional 6 credits over an academic year. Mitchell offers the courses at a significantly reduced cost, the lowest Intersession tuition of any four-year college or university in Connecticut.”

“We recognize that many students are balancing jobs and other responsibilities at home, and flexibility is key. Fully online courses allow them to take a course while managing life. Through Intersession courses, students can focus, stay on track, and earn meaningful credit to make real progress toward their degree. Intersessions also support academic recovery for students at risk,” she said.
