Summer Sessions Online Courses

Take classes from the comfort of home while earning academic credit through our flexible online courses. Offered during the Cross Session and the 6-week Sessions, these courses feature the same academic content and learning objectives as the on-campus courses, but in an entirely virtual format. You’ll learn from prestigious Georgetown faculty while developing your skills through a combination of lectures, coursework, and group discussions.

Summer Sessions Online courses provide the same academic content as our on-campus courses—they award the same number of credits, meet the same learning objectives, and cover the same kinds of material—the primary difference is that they’re offered in a convenient virtual setting. Summer Sessions Online courses are asynchronous—allowing for a more flexible time frame for students to listen to lectures, complete their readings, and turn in assignments. However, most courses do include some synchronous sessions, where students log in at the same time to participate in a lecture or discussion.

We are able to offer Summer Sessions Online courses to residents of all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. For information on international eligibility, please visit the International Students page.

We reserve the right to cancel courses at any time. Although we do our best to run every course that is listed, we do occasionally have to cancel classes due to low enrollment, instructor schedule changes, or other circumstances beyond our control.
