Sacramento State’s Summer Session is the perfect opportunity for students to stay on track — or get ahead — on their academic journey. Open to both Sac State and visiting students, Summer Session offers two convenient 6-week terms and one 12-week term, providing a range of flexible scheduling options.

These accelerated courses help students fulfill graduation requirements, lighten their future course loads, or catch up on missed credits. With fewer distractions and smaller class sizes, students can dive deep into their studies and make significant academic progress in a shorter amount of time.

“Summer Session is designed with student success in mind,” says Emelina Logan, Associate Director, Summer and Winter Sessions. “These accelerated courses offer the chance to earn valuable credits while still enjoying the flexibility summer brings.”

Beyond the classroom, the flexible format gives students the freedom to pursue internships, work opportunities, or travel during the summer, making it easy to balance academics with personal and professional growth.

Whether you’re aiming to graduate early or just want to make the most of your summer, Sac State’s Summer Session is a smart, streamlined way to move forward.
