The University of Chicago Summer

Visiting Students

Choosing a UChicago Summer course offers you an opportunity to get ahead in your studies while experiencing our distinctive academic culture. We offer courses online and in-person, June through September. Courses are typically 3 to 6-week long. Each class is the equivalent of a full quarter-long course and meets for at least 27 contact hours. Because some courses fill quickly, we recommend that you apply early.
