Summer Sessions
Summer vacation is an opportunity to relax, travel, and work. For many students, it's also a chance to continue their studies. Some students take summer courses to complete their breadth requirements or make up for a lighter course load in the fall and spring semesters. Others take summer courses simply because they are interested in a particular topic.
UC Berkeley Summer Sessions offers more than 600 summer courses each year. Your academic adviser can help you determine which courses are right for you.
