You have big goals for your degree, but you also deserve a summer that actually feels like a break. At the University of Vermont Summer University, we make it easy for visiting undergraduate and graduate students to advance their education without putting their summer plans on hold.
Whether you want to knock out a challenging prerequisite, focus on a core requirement, or accelerate your path to graduation, we offer the flexibility you need. You can continue your education anywhere and in most cases easily transfer the credits back to your home institution.
