Summer Session 2020
Finish Your Degree Faster this Summer.
Did you know that over 70% of our bachelor’s degree graduates took summer classes during their programs? Summer Session at the CUNY School of Professional Studies is a great way to make progress toward graduation by catching up or moving ahead in your degree. It's the perfect time to enroll in a general education class or that elective you've been eager to take. Summer Session is open to current and newly admitted CUNY SPS students, all current CUNY students via ePermit, and visiting students from other colleges.
As a leader in the University’s initiative to save students money on textbooks, 95% of our General Education summer classes have Zero Textbook Cost. Be sure to search for these “Z sections” which use Open Education Resources (OER) rather than traditional textbooks.
