Campus to Offer Full Summer Session
For the first time in its 20-year history, the Ventura campus of Cal State Northridge will be offering a full schedule of summer classes.
Joyce Kennedy, CSUN’s Ventura director, said the satellite campus will offer about three dozen courses to hundreds of students over the six- and nine-week summer sessions that begin June 5.
“Part of it is enrollment demand, but overall the Ventura campus is on much firmer ground than ever before,” Kennedy said. “With the new thrust for the permanent university and with greater autonomy for the Ventura campus, we’re able to do more things.”
Escrow closed late last month on a site outside Camarillo that state university officials have targeted for a permanent campus in Ventura County, the state’s most populated county without a public university.
Kennedy said the state’s commitment toward opening that campus, combined with an enrollment that has topped 1,400 students, has allowed her for the first time to offer a full summer schedule.
In previous years, the extension campus has offered only a handful of the most popular courses. For more information or to register for summer classes at the Ventura campus, call 654-4575.
