The Benefits of Taking a Summer Course
Lighten Your Fall or Spring Workload
Completing a course in the summer can reduce the number of classes you need to take during the regular semester, giving you more time for extracurricular activities, internships, or focused study.
Stay on Track for Graduation
If you're behind on credits or need to meet specific prerequisites, summer courses can help you catch up and avoid delaying your graduation.
Accelerate Your Degree
Summer courses can help you graduate early, saving money on tuition and allowing you to enter the workforce sooner.
Focus on Challenging Courses
With a lighter overall workload, you can devote more time and energy to challenging subjects and perform better.
Explore a New Subject
Summer classes provide an opportunity to take electives or subjects outside your major without compromising your regular semester schedule.
A Jumpstart to College Life
High school students can get a true head start on college through Muhlenberg’s Summer Semester program—building early connections with faculty, exploring our hands-on, innovative curriculum, and experiencing campus life while discovering new interests and future goals.
