We've found seven such programs that you can take this summer. If you have a lot of free time indoors due to the current circumstances, want to gain credits and/or work experience, or simply feel like investing in yourself and expanding your mind, you should consider participating in one or more of the programs below. Please note that we cannot guarantee any credit transfer. For virtual study abroad opportunities, you will need to go through the usual course approval process to ensure that credits will transfer; in other words, you will have to fill out the Summer Course Approval Form and have it signed by all the appropriate people. For virtual internships, you will need to coordinate with the Internship Coordinator in your college/school/department in order to transfer credits.
