The summer program serves a variety of undergraduate and graduate student requirements. Regularly enrolled Valparaiso University students use the Summer Session to complete additional majors or minors, distribute their academic load, accelerate their studies, or take advantage of educational opportunities. Visiting students from other accredited institutions may also take courses to transfer back to their home institution

Newly admitted students (freshmen, transfers and graduates) may begin their work during the summer. Selected high school students may take courses to facilitate their educational objectives. High school students interested in the possibility of coursework at VU should contact the Office of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education by phone at 219-464-5313 or by email at Graduate.Studies@valpo.edu.
