This summer, take an undergraduate-level course with high school students from all over the world, from wherever you are! Summer Online allows students to explore subjects like biochemistry, art, quantitative finance, and more through five-week courses involving real-time interaction, engaging class discussions, and group projects. Each course has been especially designed to make the most of online resources and activities, and deliver the academically rigorous experience synonymous with UChicago.
Summer will be taught remotely online. There is no hybrid or in-person option for these courses. Students cannot live in residence on campus if they enroll in an online course.Online
Each summer course is the equivalent of a full, quarter-long (10 week) course.
