Residential or Online – You Choose!

Students who enroll in Summer College for High School Students have the freedom to choose courses that fit best with their summer plans. We offer residential and online options! We do not offer commuter options, even for local students.

Residential Options

Students looking for a short but impactful stay on campus should consider our intensive 1-week and 2-week opportunities. Move-in and orientation for each experience will occur on Sunday and class sessions begin on Monday. Parents are invited to attend a closing session on Friday prior to move-out. View the list of short-term courses. All short-term courses are residential only and are not offered for online/distance learning. 

Online

Purdue offers multiple entry-level online courses that can apply to your future plan of study or transfer to another institution. Courses run for 4-12 weeks, depending on the module you select. Students may complete up to 7 total credit hours throughout the entire summer session. Enroll now through Purdue Admissions.
