Summer 2025 Courses

If you're accepted into the summer program, an academic advisor will work with you to select the courses that will work best fit your academic goals. Keep in mind: Some courses will require prerequisites or placement tests.

Semester Dates

Summer 2025
Summer I - June 9 - July 12 
Summer II - July 14 - Aug. 14


Please pay attention to the online delivery method when choosing the course that you are interested in taking:

Asynchronous classes let students complete their work on their own time. Students are given a timeframe during which they need to connect to their class. The good news is that in asynchronous courses, you could hit the books no matter what hour of day (or night). When you look at the schedule of classes, asynchronous courses won't show a day or time.

Synchronous classes occur in real-time and have set schedules with students and instructors online at the same time. You will be expected to be present and participate during designated lectures, discussion and presentation hours. When you look at the schedule of classes, synchronous courses will show specific days and time.

Checkout this Summer Accelerate Advising Handout to learn about suggested courses for your major.
