Summer Courses

Get ahead this summer with classes at Capital

You can make the most of your summer with many of our course offerings delivered remotely.

Register now for summer courses to hold your spot. If your plans change, don’t worry. You can cancel for a full refund any time before the start of classes.

Most of our summer 2022 undergraduate classes are delivered through remote learning. Also, many of our summer graduate courses in business, education, law, music, nursing and theology can be completed remotely. 

Summer sessions offers opportunities to fit some additional courses into your year – whether you are trying to graduate ahead of schedule, catch-up to an existing plan, or make room in your schedule for additional courses. Also, as a Capital student summer courses count toward your GPA, so this is also a great opportunity to retake a course if you would like to improve your GPA.

Lower Tuition. Summer is a great time to study at Capital. You receive individual attention and you can complete a semester course in a short seven weeks. And undergraduate tuition is reduced in the summer. See the current tuition and fees for summer courses.
