Bryn Mawr College

Preparing For Your Summer

 

Summer School at Bryn Mawr College
Bryn Mawr offers summer courses in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Calculus. These courses are divided into two five-week sessions. Many of the students in these courses are drawn from Bryn Mawr's Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical program, but there are also small numbers of Bryn Mawr undergraduates.

 

Summer Study Abroad Sponsored by BMC
The College sponsors summer programs abroad in Avignon , France, and Pisa, Italy. The Institut d'études françaises d'Avignon offers a six-week program of intensive advanced work in French literature and culture. The program is open to male and female undergraduate and graduate students from other colleges and from Bryn Mawr. Bryn Mawr in Pisa is a six-week summer program in the language, literature, culture and art of Italy offered under the auspices of Bryn Mawr College.

Summer School Elsewhere
Many students choose to take summer courses at other institutions. If you decide to take a summer course with the intention of transferring the credit towards your Bryn Mawr degree, you should keep the following things in mind...

Using Summer Courses to Fullfill Requirements
If you wish to use your summer course to fulfill a major requirement, you should consult with your major adviser or the chair of your department before enrolling in the course. In these cases, it is recommended that you obtain your adviser's signature on a transfer credit approval form, which you can pick up in the Registrar's office. It is highly unlikely that a summer course taken at another institution will be accepted as fulfilling a requirement for a 300-level course.

Internships and Summer Research
Each year Bryn Mawr provides funding for over 100 students to undertake summer internships and research, both on and off-campus. A variety of offices and departments administer these summer grants.
