ABOUT

Winter Session is an accelerated academic term between the Fall and Spring semesters.  Undergraduate and graduate courses during this time adhere to the same academic standards as those offered during the fall and spring semesters.  Current Rutgers students, and students visiting from other institutions, can satisfy degree requirements and make progress toward graduation.

Rutgers University-Newark winter courses are also open to adults interested in making lifelong learning a priority in their lives whether your academic goal is professional development to level up your skills at work, progress towards finishing your degree, or personal enrichment. 

Accelerated Courses
Students can complete a full class in just 3 weeks.  It is a great opportunity for current RU students, and students visiting from other institutions to: 

• Reduce their spring course load 
• Focus their time and energy on one challenging subject
• Fulfill a degree requirement or prerequisite
• Graduate on time or early

Flexible Schedules
We know balancing life, work, and learning can be challenging.  We offer courses in various formats and meeting times to fit any busy schedule. 

• Online Asynchronous Courses:  access and complete coursework at your own pace.  
• Online Synchronous Courses:  log in and participate in class on specific weekly days and times.
• Face-to-face Courses: Meet physically on-campus, Monday through Friday, at a scheduled time.
