Summer session is a demanding and challenging term, as a number of required CSD courses are offered only in the summer. There are no graduate degree requirements to complete during the summer session, other than completing the required graduate coursework. 

Academic Coursework

Summer is filled with a variety of interesting and intensive short courses. Summer is different from the regular academic semester schedule. You immerse yourself in a subject for a few weeks, and then you move on to the next subject to repeat the process. Summer academics demand full-time commitments from students. Plan to invest your time in your academics this summer. You will need this knowledge for working with clients in your second year.

Plan B Project

This is a good time to finalize your degree plan and oral examination committee, if you were unable to complete this process in the preceding spring semester. You should also have your Plan B project well underway by this time.
