The summer semester at the University of Oklahoma provides you with a unique opportunity to get ahead, stay on track or catch up while still enjoying some downtime.
Taking just one class every summer allows many students to graduate one semester sooner!
Students may enroll in up to 9 hours of summer courses (course restrictions may apply) to help ease fall and spring semester course loads. Many are able to get into that “always full” required course during the summer semester, while others appreciate being able to singularly focus on a difficult subject. You also can choose to pursue special topics during the summer — like Study Abroad, intensive study and practicum experiences — that may not easily fit into fall or spring course schedules.
Most summer classes are online or held on campus in smaller classrooms, allowing students and faculty to enjoy more informal interactions in a relaxed environment. In addition, during the summer months, all students may live on campus, where friendships are formed, programming and activities are provided, and easy parking is available. Understanding that you look forward to a slower pace during summertime, OU’s intensive accelerated summer course schedule allows you to earn quick credit hours while providing ample time for enjoying summer downtime and fun.

Look into one of our many course options this summer. Summer is a great time to focus on foreign language requirements or to concentrate on a difficult subject!
OU Summer Semester courses begin immediately following the Spring semester and offer 5 different blocks to choose from that are 4-weeks and 8-weeks long throughout the summer. The courses are shorter in comparison with the Fall and Spring schedule. Due to this, several courses meet Monday through Friday.
