Winter Session
Earn 2, 3 or 4 Credits in Four Weeks with an Intensive Winter Session Course at Purchase College
Make the most of your semester break and ensure that you finish your degree in four years by enrolling in an accelerated online course at affordable New York State tuition rates (if eligible). Whether you’re exploring a potential major, diving into a topic of interest, or catching up on required credits, Winter Session is a smart way to stay academically engaged.
Courses are delivered fully online and asynchronously — meaning there are no scheduled class times. You’ll complete coursework remotely through Brightspace, giving you the flexibility to learn at your own pace while still meeting assignment deadlines. Stay on track for graduation, lighten your spring load, or simply get ahead — all from the comfort of home.
