Cornell's Adult University (CAU) offers weeklong noncredit courses on campus for adults and families during the summer. During the fall, winter, and spring, it offers weekend seminars, weeklong domestic programs, and international study tours.

Distance learning courses may include a web-based component, videotapes, and/or CD-ROMs. Students interact with the instructor and other students by phone or e-mail. Most assignments and examinations are completed within a scheduled time frame, just as in on-campus courses, but students have the option of getting a head start on readings and lectures. For information, visit http://www.sce.cornell.edu/dl/.

For faculty members interested in developing credit or noncredit distance learning courses, the school offers a broad range of services, including determining technological needs, resolving copyright issues, creating a marketing plan, and fulfilling administrative duties related to the course.

Cornell's online CyberTower program is a great way to meet Cornell faculty and explore fascinating topics ranging from mastodons and wine appreciation to today's headline news, all at no cost.

CyberTower features three online program series, with new offerings added every month:

*    Study Rooms contain video-streamed lectures, links to specially selected web sites, reading lists, and discussion boards with Cornell faculty and fellow CyberTower users.
*    Forums are informal video-streamed conversations with leading faculty members. Discussion boards enable you to trade comments and questions with each month's featured guest.
*    Views and Reviews are brief, unabashedly opinionated commentaries by faculty members on books, films, articles, and topics in the news.

To explore CyberTower, simply log on to cybertower.cornell.edu and follow the registration instructions. It's all free and is a great way to see what Cornell has to offer.

Individualized Study

Can't find the course you want? Take the course independently! You'd like to study cosmic rays and high-energy electromagnetic radiation, protein structure and the nature of enzymatic catalysis, or American and European decorative arts of the Renaissance and the nineteenth century. Although there are no regularly scheduled summer courses in those areas or in other areas in which you may be interested, you may still be able to study your favorite subject. Courses that aren't a part of the regular schedule may be offered for an individual or a group.

If you're interested in such a course and can find a professor willing to supervise your study, pick up the application for individualized study (available on the web at www.summer.cornell.edu or from the Summer Session office). Also, please let the Summer Session office know if there are courses you would like to see offered next summer (call 255-4987 or e-mail cusce@cornell.edu).
