Wilkes offers summer undergraduate classes at the reduced tuition rate of $530 per credit. A variety of courses are offered online and in face-to-face classroom setting in programs like engineering, biology and business as well as general education classes in disciplines such as English, psychology, history and math. Both Wilkes and visiting students are welcome, as most credits can transfer to other institutions. Taking summer classes allows students to lighten their course load during the academic year, catch up on missed classes or graduate early.

By earning 18 academic credits in a prescribed pathway of six total courses, students from Wilkes and other institutions can gain a competitive edge in the job market. Minors also allow students to focus on a subject or area of interest, while staying on track with requirements in their major during the regular academic semester.
