This summer, get a head start and earn college credit at Georgetown. Our Summer College courses ease your transition into the college learning environment through a blend of lectures, class discussions, and featured guest speakers. You’ll have the opportunity to take classes with current undergraduate students, learn from prestigious Georgetown faculty, and engage in challenging coursework that will prepare you for success in college and beyond. Choose from our approved list of five-week on-campus courses, eight-week online courses, or opt to do a combination of both. Upon completion of your course(s), you will have access to an official transcript from Georgetown University.

Additional Program Options
If you’re seeking a more rigorous academic experience, you can take two courses per session, earning up to 12 total credits (a full semester at most universities). Students who complete two courses in a session will receive a Summer Honors Intensive Certificate upon completing their studies.
Select college credit courses are available in an online format during the eight-week Summer College Online. Online courses feature the same content as our on-campus courses, but in an entirely virtual format.
Summer College students may enroll in optional, one-time academic seminars ($245 each), offered on two scheduled dates. These standalone workshops provide supplemental skill-building but do not include the multi-week seminar series and dedicated mentor support featured in the College Prep program. Students must be concurrently registered in a Summer College course.
Introduction to the SAT & ACT Seminar
This course covers test-taking strategies, time-management skills, and critical reading methods that are central to mastering the SAT and ACTs. Choose from one of two different sessions, where you’ll have the opportunity to take a full-length digital SAT or full-length paper ACT, after which you’ll receive an individualized, comprehensive analysis of your results.
College Essay-Writing Seminar
This 2-hour evening class will review the organization, content, and style of successful college essays. Offered twice during the summer, you’ll have the opportunity to review sample essays, generate ideas for topics, develop a comprehensive outline, and write a complete college admissions essay.
“As I am filling out my college applications, I am able to think back to my memories from the summer and I am reassured that I am pursuing the right educational path.”
