ABOUT

Summer Session is an accelerated academic term between the Spring and Fall semesters.  Undergraduate and graduate courses during this time adhere to the same academic standards as those offered during the Spring and Fall semesters.  Enrollment is open to current Rutgers students, students visiting from other institutions, adults interested in making lifelong learning a priority, and high-achieving students currently attending high school. 

Accelerated Courses
In just six weeks to 12 weeks, students can earn up to 14 credits.  Summer is the ideal time for current RU students, high school students, and students visiting from other institutions to: 

• Reduce their Fall course load 
• Focus their time and energy on one challenging subject
• Develop skills to ease the college transition
• Fulfill a degree requirement or prerequisite
• Explore college majors
• Graduate on time or early

Flexible Schedules
We know balancing life, work, and learning can be challenging.  Whether your academic goal is professional development to level up your skills at work, progress towards finishing your degree, or personal enrichment, we offer courses in various formats and meeting times to fit your busy schedule. 

• Online Asynchronous Courses:  access and complete coursework at your own pace.  
• Online Synchronous Courses:  log in and participate in class on specific weekly days and times.
• Face-to-face Courses: Meet physically on-campus, Monday through Friday, at a scheduled time.
