Dean's Book Course Winter & Summer Sessions

All levels of the Dean's Book Course are offered both winter and summer sessions through the Division of Continuing Education. Visit the Continuing Education website for details, including registration information.

When enrolling in a winter session Dean's Book course, you should register for your appropriate level -- 191D, 291D, or 391D. Winter session courses, however, are offered as "One-of-a-Kind" and taught in "one-room-schoolhouse" fashion. That is, all students enrolling in a particular time slot -- whatever their level -- will find themselves in the same room with the same instructor, reading the same book selection. But they will follow the curriculum designed for their own respective course levels.


Please note: Books are selected by individual instructors. They are not the same books read during the regular academic year. Summer session classes meet 14 hours within the 24-hour time period set by Continuing Ed. The 14-hour schedule is determined by the section instructor.
