Summer’s flexible schedule means you can do it all<\/h2>\n

Life is full of tough decisions. College students know this all too well.<\/p>\n

French fries or tater tots? T-shirt or tank top? Netflix or a nap?<\/p>\n

All kidding aside, summer term at Oregon State doesn’t make you choose between two things that will benefit you. Our flexible schedule<\/a> enables you to complete your degree requirements and also work a job or an internship.<\/p>\n

OSU’s summer classes last anywhere from one week to 11 weeks<\/strong>, and you can start in June, July or August. The flexibility of the summer calendar makes it possible to do just about anything:<\/p>\n

♦<\/strong> Need to take a class that ends in the middle of July so you can go home and work for a couple months? Not a problem.<\/p>\n

♦<\/strong> Looking for an evening course so you can work your morning shift to help cover rent costs? There are plenty to choose from.<\/p>\n

♦<\/strong> Taking a study break until August when you plan to enroll in a three-week bacc core class? We’ve got that covered, too.<\/p>\n

No matter what your unique student situation calls for, OSU summer classes can accommodate anything. It’s the best of all worlds.<\/p>\n

Registration opens April 10, so start planning your summer on campus<\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
