Summer Quarter Courses

You can see it now can't you? The sunny, cloudless sky, the 80+ degree temperatures? Just you, the sand between your toes, and a nice big accounting textbook. Yes friends, summer is nearly upon us, and that means a summer quarter full of learning opportunities in the La Sierra University School of Business.

To ensure that our summer course offerings best meet the needs of our students, we have created a short survey available at http://business.lasierra.edu/summersurvey. If you are interested in completing one or more courses this summer, please use this form to indicate which would be most preferable to you. Note that this list represents possible summer courses, and is not an all-inclusive list of those already planned. If you have any questions or require advising assistance, please contact Cheryl Bauman or Heather Miller in the School of Business. Tonight's low will be 41 degrees. Enjoy!
