HOUSTON – Lone Star College-University Park will offer students a variety of winter mini-mester courses, scheduled to begin Dec. 18. Registration opens Nov. 15. 

Winter mini-mester courses are fast-track classes that allow students to earn credit quickly between the fall and spring semesters. The winter mini-mester is designed for students who want to get ahead or for students who are visiting the Greater Houston area over the winter break.

“LSC-University Park serves a diverse community that needs quality education that is both affordable and convenient,” said LSC-University Park President Shah Ardalan. “As the community’s college, we work to meet those needs and the winter mini-mester offers yet another option to our current and future students.”

Winter mini-mester classes run on three and four week schedules. More than 40 online and face-to-face credit courses include topics in art appreciation, macro-economics, English, math, social studies, psychology, sociology, and communication.
