Get ahead this summer! The School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) is offering seven Summer Term courses for majors and non-majors. All of our summer courses are offered online and asynchronously so you can learn from anywhere.
- Online instruction is conducted entirely online and allows a full summer of employment, internship work or a break at home.
- Early-summer instruction allows students to complete credits by June 15, with the rest of the summer to spend as you please.
For questions or more information, contact Sandra Kubat at sandra.kubat@wisc.edu or the course instructors (see course descriptions).
