Penn State Altoona offers courses across the four summer sessions: Maymester, Regular Summer Session, Summer Session I, and Summer Session II.

Summer sessions offer an excellent opportunity to catch up or get ahead in small and engaging classes. You can take courses that will count toward completing a certificate, minor, or major. Summer course registration opens in early February and continues until the start of the summer session.
