Summer Courses

Summer break provides great opportunities to not only pursue internships but academics as well. Over the past two summers I have been able to take summer classes through Purdue and free up space in my schedule for more classes I want to take. Taking summer classes has been a great way to get prerequisite classes and other required courses out of the way. This has allowed me to pursue a minor as well as have enough space in my schedule to play in the Purdue orchestras! 

That being said, it can be difficult to take on classes while completing an internship and still enjoying the summer. However, by maintaining a solid work ethic as well as being able to manage your time it is definitely possible. It is also important to take breaks and allow yourself to relax! As students we are often under a lot of academic pressure during the school year, and it can be hard to escape that when taking classes during the summer. Making sure you aren’t taking on too much is key when considering what courses to take over the summer. In my experience, my advisor and faculty mentor have been great resources when it comes to summer courses here at Purdue!
