Every summer, several thousand students--approximately 6,000 in 1995--turn to the Office of Summer Sessions at UC Davis for an opportunity to complete their undergraduate degrees, earn units, expand their knowledge, do research, take special study courses, meet prerequisites or take courses that are often over-enrolled during the academic year.

Summer Sessions offers a wide range of lower and upper division courses (more than 200 in 1995) that provide full university credit transferable to most campuses. Since admission is open to virtually all mature adults, Summer Sessions has traditionally attracted students from universities and colleges, high school graduates and many other qualified applicants. Admission to a summer session, however, does not guarantee or imply admission to the university's regular academic quarters.

In 1997, the Office of Summer Sessions will offer two six-week sessions, which will run from June 23 to August 1 and from August 4 to September 12. All UC Davis undergraduates will automatically receive our 1997 Summer Sessions Catalog and application materials by the end of April; non-UC Davis undergraduates should contact us at the locations listed above.

A variety of international and special programs will be offered in 1997, including the Summer Humanities Institute: An Honors Program for High School Juniors; the Summer Institute of Fine Arts; the Summer Institute for the Literature of Northern California; Literature of the Wilderness, in McCall, Idaho; the study of volcanoes in Hawaii; and other special topic programs of different lengths. In 1996, students had the opportunity to study in Peru, England, France, Italy and Japan. For more information on international programs, call 916-752-0435; for the Summer Humanities Institute, call 916-752-7649; for all other programs and courses, please contact the Office of Summer Sessions.
