Summer Classes

Earn a minor over the summer!

Wilkes University's Summer Minors program allows you to earn a minor in a single summer session.

More About Summer Minors

Summer classes are a great way to lighten your course load for next year, catch up on missed classes or even graduate early. Wilkes offers a variety of in-person and online class sessions to suit your summer plans. On the graduate level, classes are available on weekends and in the evenings.

Wilkes also welcomes visiting students looking to take classes and transfer credits to their home institution.
