Choose from hundreds of Summer Session courses
Earn credit on campus, online, or around the world during the 3-, 6-, and 8-week summer sessions. Summer is a great time to begin a new major/minor, take a class closed out in fall or spring, and check off #31 on the list of “161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do”: Enjoy Ithaca’s two months of warm weather— spend a summer here!
Earn 4 credits in 3 weeks during Winter Session
Choose from dozens of online courses during Cornell’s January Winter Session. In just three weeks, you can fulfill a requirement, lighten your course load, and/or focus intensely on one subject, without distractions.
