SUNY Canton Breaks Summer Session Enrollment Record

CANTON, NY (05/28/2014)(readMedia)-- SUNY Canton has reached an all-time enrollment record for the College's Summer Session term, which begins June 2.

"We have 1,808 students enrolled in our classes so far," said SUNY Canton Dean of Academic Support Services and Instructional Technologies Molly A. Mott. "This breaks our 2012 record of 1,796 students."

More than 150 courses will be available throughout three sessions, which allow students the opportunity to either get ahead and graduate early, or stay on track and graduate on time. Courses will be held June 2 to July 27, June 2 to July 6 and July 7 to Aug. 10.

Many courses are accessible via computer anywhere in the world and provide the same high-quality instruction SUNY Canton offers in a traditional classroom setting.

Students have the option to choose from general education courses such as English, finance, history and business. Elective courses include The Adirondack Experience, a one-week on-site course that allows students to learn digital photography techniques while paddling and hiking through one of the most pristine areas of the Northeast.

"Our success with Summer Session can largely be attributed to faculty members who present interesting courses on in-demand topics in a cutting-edge format," said Mott.

Summer Session courses can also help satisfy degree requirements at other SUNY schools, which supports SUNY's goal to facilitate a seamless transfer of credits across campuses. To register or to view the entire course listing, visit http://www.canton.edu/courses/summer.html.
