Below are listings of outdoor courses that will be offered at Bradford Woods during the first and second summer sessions.

NOTE: These classes count as electives outside the College of Arts and Sciences. Students majoring in CMCL are limited in the number of credits they can take outside the College and count toward their degrees, so make sure that you have room for an elective like this before signing up (e-mail me at tkauf@indiana.edu if you’re not sure).
