In an effort to help keep the cost of higher education more affordable for students, William Paterson University in Wayne is offering more than 700 summer courses at discounted tuition rates of 13 percent for undergraduate students and 8 percent for graduate students.
“As students and families continue to tighten their budgets during these difficult economic times, we want to help our students, as well as visiting students, continue their education during the summer while reducing their costs,” says Stephen Hahn, associate provost at William Paterson.
Tuition for in-state undergraduate students is $286 per credit, a reduction of 13 percent from the regular per-credit tuition of $348. Tuition for in-state graduate students is $535, a reduction of 8 percent from the regular tuition of $587 per credit.
Among the more than 700 courses in every discipline are nearly 200 courses taught completely online, eliminating the need for commuting. Summer session runs from May 24 through August 10. Students can choose from courses offered for three-, four- or six-week sessions, and can earn up to 12 credits. Courses are available during the day and evening, as well as online.
“Our summer session is designed to provide William Paterson students, visiting students from other colleges and universities, and high-achieving high school students with a variety of courses and as much flexibility as possible in terms of scheduling,” says Stephen Hahn, associate provost. “Students can complete degree requirements, or take prerequisites for other courses.”
On-campus housing in the University’s air-conditioned residence halls is available for summer session students. Students can also take advantage of recreational facilities on campus, including an indoor competition-sized pool and a multipurpose Rec Center with fully equipped weight and fitness rooms. Parking on campus is free.
A list of course offerings, as well as registration information, is available on the William Paterson Web site at www.wpunj.edu/summersession/index_new.html.
