Sterling's summer semester includes a full range of courses in ecology, natural history, outdoor education, and environmental humanities, as well as intensive programs in food systems and sustainable agriculture. This isn't old-fashioned summer school, but rather a complete college semester, designed to take advantage of the the abundant summer season in northern Vermont. Summer is the favorite semester of many Sterling students, and students from other colleges and universities are also encouraged to enroll.
