Penn State Altoona offers courses across the four summer sessions: Maymester, Regular Session, First Six-week Session, and Second Six-week Session.

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.
