UMPI offers its second Fall Short Term

    PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — The University of Maine at Presque Isle is offering its second Fall Short Term from Oct. 21 to Dec. 30, providing students and others looking to complete their four-year degrees with a concise, six-week session as an alternative — or an addition — to the regular 15-week semester.    For its Fall 2013 Short Term, UMPI has seven course offerings. All of these classes are online. They include: ENG 121 College Composition, ENG 151 Introduction to Literature, HTY 161 US History I, HTY 115 World Civilization I, MAT 101 Basic Statistics, PSY 100 Introduction to Psychology, and PSY 200/SOC 200 Social Psychology.
The university piloted its first short term in January 2012 when it offered a J-Term to provide degree seekers with a short class between the fall and spring semesters. Based on the success of that term and one earlier this year, UMPI is offering another J-Term at the beginning of 2014, as well as two six-week-long short terms in spring 2014.
