  • Reduce Time to Graduate

    Take advantage of the summer months to get ahead in your major and graduation requirements. Our study shows that among UCLA students who graduate within 4 years or less, over 77% of those students took courses over the summer.

  • Forge Your Career Path

    College/Professional Summer Institutes provide career-preparatory experiences in addition to academic credit. A wide array of co-curricular enhancements with a distinctive career focus will give you exclusive insight into your industry as well as professional development opportunities.

  • Create Your Own Schedule

    From online to accelerated courses, the flexibility of Summer Sessions means you can maximize your time and pursue your other interests and goals–be it travel, work, or an internship–alongside your studies.

  • Explore Something New

    Summer is also a perfect time to take a course in a new subject area to expand your horizons or to add a new minor under your belt. Scores of minors, including accounting, entrepreneurship, film & TV, statistics, and more, can be completed in Summer Sessions alone.
