Take a Course, Build Your Skills:
SFU’s Winter Session Welcomes All Learners

Classes Start Dec. 16!

Whether you’re a current SFU student aiming to get ahead or someone looking to learn something new without the commitment of a full degree program, our Winter 2024 Semester courses are open to you! From December 16, 2024, to January 12, 2025, you can enroll in a variety of fully online courses that fit your schedule and meet your goals.

Among the popular offerings this winter are:

  • New Drone Course (AVI 103) – This 1-credit course delves into the technical applications of aUAS (autonomous unmanned aerial systems). You’ll gain hands-on knowledge and flight experience to prepare for the FAA knowledge test concerning unmanned aircraft.
  • Personal Finance (FIN 103) – Learn the essentials of financial planning goals, banking, net worth, budgeting, retirement and estate planning, credit cards, loans, insurance, real estate, and investments.

For Non-Degree Students (Take a Single Course or Build New Skills)

Our online courses are also perfect for non-degree students, including professionals, lifelong learners, and anyone curious about a subject area. Here’s why this winter session is right for you:

  • No Long-Term Commitment: Take a single course to explore an interest or build a specific skill without enrolling in a full degree program.
  • Build Confidence While Earning Credits: Starting with one course can help you ease into college-level learning while earning credits that can be applied to a degree program if you decide to continue.
  • Flexible Online Format: Study from anywhere, fitting learning into your schedule.

For Current SFU Students

Winter break doesn’t have to mean putting your studies on pause. Why not take advantage of this time to:

  • Get Ahead in Your Degree: Complete core or elective courses and lighten your load for upcoming semesters.
  • Explore New Subjects: Try something outside your major, like Introduction to Philosophy (PHIL 105) or Marketing (MKTG 101), to broaden your knowledge.
  • Stay Connected and Productive: Make the most of your winter break by diving into a subject of interest, all from the comfort of home.
