Summer 2025 Registration is Now Open!

Taking Summer classes can help you reach your goals more quickly, allow you to concentrate on one course at a time, and allow you to complete prerequisite requirements before the start of the Fall semester. Summer classes are also a great way to save money, as Summer per-credit rates are lower than Fall and Spring per-credit rates for regular courses. Financial aid is also available. To learn more about Summer classes, visit the Boise State website. 

The Department of Psychological Science is offering several regular and special topics courses this Summer. Registration for Summer classes is now open and operates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Keep reading to learn more about what is still available, and feel free to reach out to PSYC Advising with any questions.
