Summer Studies
Summer studies at Virginia Commonwealth University is an important part of the total educational program of the university. VCU continues to offer the largest, most comprehensive summer school in the commonwealth. Classes are scheduled in nine different sessions, including evening. This flexibility in scheduling seeks to maximize enrollment opportunities for students. With careful scheduling, students may earn up to 15 credits during one summer. Classes are available in all departments of the College of Humanities and Sciences and in most departments of the School of the Arts, the School of Business and the School of Education. Selected courses are offered by the School of Social Work and the School of Engineering. Classes are open to all qualified students, including professionals from the community, students visiting from other universities and colleges and special students updating skills, preparing for a career change or developing a personal interest.
The Division of Community Engagement works with university departments to establish and publish the summer schedule of classes, manages the faculty contract and payment process, and handles problem solving for summer students and faculty.
