Summer Registration Begins Feb. 22
Even though there’s still snow on the mountains, it’s not too early to be thinking of summer classes for your student. Registration for Boise State summer classes opened on Tuesday, February 22.
Summer classes can help your student graduate faster, pursue a minor or take a more manageable course load during the academic year. Over 10,000 students took summer classes last year. In fact, 80% of 2021 Boise State graduates took summer classes during their time here.
In a recent survey of summer students, over 92% of respondents rated their experience with summer classes as “good” or “great”.
What else are students saying about summer classes?
For Makayla, summer classes allowed her to earn a certificate along with her degree. She didn’t have time in her regular schedule, so summer classes allowed her to add something that she wanted to do.
“It made me more well-rounded for the career that I want, and it allowed me to do something that I didn’t have time for prior,” said Makayla.
Caleb enjoyed the organized, self-paced online summer courses and the ability to focus on one class at a time. By taking summer courses, Caleb could stay on track for graduation, even with his double major!
“Taking summer courses is a great way to stay on track,” Caleb shared.
