The College of Charleston offers nearly 100 courses during the three-week Maymester session. Maymester began May 10 and end with final exams on May 26, 2011. Maymester courses offer students an opportunity to experience topics and field schools that are not offered during the fall and spring semesters and include non-traditional topics.
