Interterm & Faculty-Led Travel Courses
Interterm Courses
What is Interterm?
Interterm is the period between quarters in which unique on-campus and travel courses are offered in intensive formats to provide students with an alternative approach to learning.
DU faculty create interterm classes that are academically challenging and involve an experiential component. Most students who experience Interterm courses return for additional opportunities to enhance their experience.
The courses are taken for regular DU credit and at current DU tuition rates. There are two Interterms each year, which are scheduled immediately after the Fall and Winter quarters. Additionally, UAP manages domestic and international travel courses in the regular Summer term.
