The summer semester at the University of Oklahoma provides you with a unique opportunity to get ahead, stay on track or catch up while still enjoying some downtime.
Students may enroll in up to 14 credit hours during the summer (course restrictions may apply) to reduce fall and spring course loads. Summer courses also offer opportunities to enroll in high-demand requirements, focus on challenging subjects, or pursue special options such as Study Abroad, intensive study, or practicum experiences that may not fit into the regular academic year.
Most summer classes are offered online or in smaller, on-campus settings, creating a more relaxed and interactive learning environment. Students may also live on campus during the summer, with access to housing, activities, and convenient parking. OU’s accelerated summer schedule allows students to earn credits efficiently while still enjoying a slower-paced, flexible summer.
