Summer Degree Classes

Take the opportunity this summer to study with a visiting artist, explore a new discipline or venue, develop skills, or satisfy a degree requirement or elective.

Course offerings range from one-week, 1-unit workshops to 3-unit courses and are scheduled throughout the summer at both the San Francisco and Oakland campuses, as well as abroad.

Course Schedule

See the Course Schedule for this summer's courses. (The individual course descriptions give the dates for each course.)

See Instructors for information about this summer's instructors.

Tuition

Summer 2009 tuition for on-campus courses is the same as for the preceding academic year: $1,293 per unit.

1-unit course: $1,293
3-unit course: $3,879

Registration fee: $50 (nonrefundable)

Students register for summer courses at the Student Records Office; tuition for summer courses must be paid in full at the time of registration.

Since registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, interested students are encouraged to register early to ensure a place in class. Instructor approval to attend a study abroad course does not constitute registration.

Financial Aid

See Summer Financial Aid.

Housing

See Off-Campus Housing for a list of off-campus housing opportunities.

Shuttle

Because of the varied course schedules, shuttle service is not available during the summer.
