Do you get bored over your winter break? Wish you could travel around the world, go skiing or knock out a GenEd or two?
Wintermester 2010-2011 is a new academic term that offers more flexible ways for Lipscomb students to earn their hours and meet class requirements during their winter break. Wintermester offers travel, online, and hybrid courses in a number of departments and offers a broader range of classes that may not be as accessible during regular fall or spring semesters.
Students have the opportunity to lighten course loads, get ahead, or catch up by taking their choice of five courses offered this winter.
