Why intersession? • Opportunity to increase enrollment and revenue • Unique educational offerings that can focus on a single subject in small, intimate classes • Supports Finish in Four and improved graduation rates • More time between fall and spring for research, projects, and course preparation • Greater use of University facilities • Smoother spring semester start-up
Enrollment Potential Assuming 3 credits per course and an average tuition rate of $300/credit would yield about $2M in tuition revenue for Stony Brook in 2012.
