阿宾顿,爸爸. — Registration for 夏季课程 at Penn State 阿宾顿 is open for students enrolled any Penn State campus and for those from other universities and colleges who wish to take courses during the Maymester and two later sessions. 

“Summer is a great time to take a course that you really want to focus on, especially with our small class sizes,” 伊娃克莱因, director of academic services at 阿宾顿. "You can get ahead, stay on track or take a course you need as a prerequisite for your fall schedule. It’s also a path toward graduating sooner."   

Summer courses at 阿宾顿 run the gamut from the liberal arts to business and the sciences. Three courses may fulfill a requirement while exploring music and sports and their culture impacts: 

  • The History of Hip-Hop ("AFAM126N/INART126N: The Popular Arts in America"): Instructor Justin De Senso, a hip-hop scholar and freestyle MC, will examine the cultural, 经济, social and political implications of hip-hop worldwide since its beginnings in the 1970s. 

  • The Music of the Beatles and American Popular Culture ("MUS 209N") will contextualize the band's work to show how both popular music and culture can influence one another. The course will be taught by 约翰Pachence, associate teaching professor of 综合艺术 and a Grammy-nominated composer, performer and teacher.  

  • Baseball in Comparative History ("HIST113") will examine the sport’s diverse and changing social, 经济 and political meanings, emphasizing the ways in which a common activity may acquire unique meanings in different cultures. 

Almost 90% of the summer 2024 course offerings at 阿宾顿 are taught either synchronously or asynchronously. 去 夏季课程 to find the summer course guide, 日历, step-by-step enrollment instructions, 学费, and other details.
