202Earn 3 Credits Online in Just 4 Weeks
The Intersession offers an opportunity to take a college course in a compressed timeframe at a greatly reduced cost. Courses are taught by full-time faculty who are subject matter experts.
For convenience and flexibility, courses are offered 100% online in either asynchronous format (study on your own schedule) or hybrid online (some synchronous online meetings).
Mitchell offers two Intersessions: Winter (December–January) and Summer (May). Students can earn up to 6 credits during the two Intersessions (3 credits per session). To ensure successful course completion, students may take only one course per session due to the rigor of the coursework.
