Get going, get ahead during Lawson State's Mini-Term 2

While summer is often associated with fun and relaxation, it is also a time for getting ahead-especially for students who are preparing to enter college.

Lawson State's upcoming Mini-Term 2 gives incoming freshmen and current students, too-the opportunity to take courses in a low-pressure environment. Plus, they can easily get to know the college's campuses in Bessemer and Birmingham.

Registration is open now for classes that start June 27, 2025.

"One of the biggest advantages of taking a mini-term course is the learning that happens in a smaller class," said Stephon Adams, director of admissions for Lawson State. "This is the time of year when you can get even more one-on-one time with instructors."

Mini-Term 2 is also attractive to students who are enrolled at other colleges and universities. Often, they will complete a course at Lawson State and look to transfer the credits back to their home institution-but for less money out of pocket, Mr. Adams explained.

There are other reasons, too:

• First-time college students can explore campus life more in-depth because the summer is not associated with as much "hustle and bustle" as fall and spring semesters.
• It is a great time for families to acclimate to college, too. Students and their parents can get to know professors before the busyness of fall begins.
• Current college students may also accelerate their path to graduation when they take summer courses. The same goes for catching up on missed course credits.

"Ultimately, we are here to help students achieve their goals," said Mr. Adams. "For newcomers that might mean assisting them with a smoother adjustment to college life and for others, helping them manage the rigorous demands of being a Lawson State student."
