Saturday Courses at UConn Torrington
In January 2003, a new schedule of courses will be offered for the first time on Saturdays at the Tomngton Campus of the University of Connecticut. Starting on Saturday, January 25, the courses will meet from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on alternate Saturdays for seven weeks, with the final exam on Saturday, May 3. All of the courses are three-credit UConn courses which apply to a variety of different degree programs in the Liberal Arts, Business, and BGS programs. For information on how to register for any of these courses, or for more details regarding the course descriptions, prerequisites, etc., potential students should call UConn during weekday business hours at 860-626-6800.
The courses for this first semester of Saturday School at UConn include:
Accounting 200 Principles of Managerial Accounting, taught by Deb Kenneson, CPA
Business Law 275 Business Law & Society, taught by Scott Garver, practicing attorney in Waterbury
Economics 230 Money and Banking, taught by Jasbir Jaswal

Human Development & Family Studies 230 Current Topics in Early Childhood Education: Autism, taught by Mary Beth Bruder, who is a faculty member at the UConn Health Center in Farmington (experts on autism from around the country will be brought in to speak)
Students who have not yet applied to UConn may take up to two classes each semester as non-degree students. All coursework taken at UConn as non-degree classes will become part of the student's record if and when the student is accepted into a degree program; all coursework taken at UConn will also transfer into other institutions of higher education.
The Saturday program is designed to meet the needs of working adults in this community for whom Saturday coursework is the most convenient way to work toward obtaining a college degree. Classes will change each semester to give students the opportunity to accrue credits toward a degree by attending college only on Saturdays. Classes are available at the Waterbury and West Hartford campuses on Saturdays as well, in a variety of different academic areas.
