Current Lyon College students may want to use the summertime to advance their degree plans and even save a bit on tuition in the process. From business and economics courses to chemistry or Spanish, Lyon College offers a variety of courses during the summer in both online and traditional formats at a reduced tuition rate of $250 per semester hour.

Dr. Mahbubul Kabir, who will teach Principles of Economics II (ECO102) and Statistical Applications in Business (BUS323), is one of the professors using an online format. "Summer sessions provide a way for students to stay on track and knock a course out quickly, or even just tackle something stimulating over the summer to keep their minds engaged," Kabir said.

“The online sessions give flexibility for students who wish to take a three-hour course as an elective or as part of their business and economics core,” he added.

The first set of summer courses, including Dr. Kabir's, will begin on May 28 and lasts four weeks while others start July 8 and run through early August. For more, visit mylyon.edu and search for summer course schedules or contact the Registrar's Office at 870-307-7203.
