Face-to-face courses are offered on campus as commuter or residential programs. There is no housing available for minors on campus taking for-credit coursework, unless the student is part of a specialized residential program such as Imaging Self (see below).
Online courses are available to students who do not live in the Madison area or are unable to attend face-to-face courses. UW–Madison offers over 300 online courses during Summer Term, so you can be a Badger from anywhere in the country or the world.
