Ready to tackle traditional college course work?

Purdue University offers more than 650 traditional undergraduate-level courses during the Summer Session; however, we recommend enrolling in courses not offered during your regular high school terms/semesters to help expand your horizons. To view a full list of all summer courses, please visit the Dynamic Course Schedule
