Options typically include subjects such as art appreciation, English, History, Government, Math, Sciences, and other various introductory academic courses.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant difference from a traditional semester is the pace. Mini-semester courses run for just eight weeks, making them more intensive but also more manageable for students with outside responsibilities. Students can use the mini-semester to stay on track academically, get ahead on credits, or even start their educational journey mid-semester without waiting for the next full term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA student could complete both government requirements in one semester since one class runs from August to October and the other from October to December,\u201d said Moreno. \u201cFor those with jobs or home responsibilities, adjusting their schedule for just eight weeks instead of the traditional 16 may give them more opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For students interested in registering for a mini-semester class, they can contact their Success Coach through Starfish.
