Your Summer of Opportunity
Summer Term offers a simple way to adjust your schedule; explore more classes; or find time for internships, research, or travel.
Why Choose Summer?
- Lighten the Load: Taking a summer class frees up space in the fall for research, internships, or whatever you’ll dive into next.
- Get Ahead: Graduate sooner, catch up on classes — or let summer pave the way to a Progressive Degree Program (PDP).
- Explore More: Add a minor, expand your horizons, chart a new path.
- Experience Los Angeles and Washington, DC: Staying in LA for the summer, or want to spend the summer at USC’s Capital Campus in Washington, DC? We have classes that will help you get to know LA and DC even better.
- 12 units for the cost of 10: Eligible students enrolled in 12 units over the summer will receive a Summer Scholarship equivalent to the cost of 2 units — an almost 17% saving. Full time enrollees with financial need may be eligible for additional support.
Summer Term runs from May 20 to August 11, 2026.
Classes
Summer Term has a full range of classes available to suit every need. Whether you’re looking for GEs, pre-reqs, a required class for your major, or want to branch out and learn something new, summer has it all.
Tuition and Financial Aid
Undergraduate students enrolled in 12 units over the summer only pay for 10. Full time students with financial need may be eligible for additional support.
