THINK Summer - Academics - Past Courses

Past Courses

THINK courses are determined annually based on course and instructor availability in partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno. Student feedback from the previous summer is taken into consideration when planning future selection. Our most popular courses are often repeated every other year. All courses offered are intended to be entry-level, general education courses that are more likely to be accepted as transfer credit by other educational institutions.
