First summer session begins May 13 at Penn State York

2/7/13

It's never too early to think about summer classes at Penn State York and registration is under way. Two six-week sessions offer students, undergraduate or graduate, the opportunity to take day or evening classes.

Two sessions offer students a convenient way to get ahead for fall, catch up on classes or just get started. The first summer session begins May 13 and continues through June 21, and the second summer session begins June 26 and continues through Aug. 7.

Penn State York's small class size offers students the opportunity to get to know faculty members and work in research areas using state-of-the-art lab facilities. The two summer sessions also allow students to take a class and still have time to enjoy the summer.
