Summer Session offers hundreds of University academic-credit classes to the community in three separate sessions, May 29-Aug. 21. Students need not be regularly enrolled at CSUN to register for Summer Session classes, so long as they meet course prerequisites. The Tseng College administers the program, which features courses from dozens of departments. Classes meet on the CSUN campus or online.
Students may choose from a wide selection of summer classes to move forward in obtaining a degree, to further their professional or personal enrichment, or to gain needed college units.
Whether you are a CSUN student or a student at another college or university, a qualified high school student, or a community member who wants to take a university class, Summer Session may be the way to meet your academic needs.
