Earn College Credit this Summer at Brown
Rising or graduated high school seniors who choose Summer Session Credit Courses earn college credit in these seven-week courses. Study side-by-side with Brown undergraduates in courses carefully selected from the Brown undergraduate curriculum.
Each course is approved by Brown’s College Curriculum Council for academic quality, appropriate workload, and equivalency to first-year Brown courses. Successful completion of any challenging Summer Session Credit Course demonstrates a student is ready for rigorous Ivy-level academic work.
The standard workload for residential students in the Summer Session Credit Course program is two courses - commuter students may take one course. Courses meet mornings and afternoons, and each course meets for 8 hours each week.
In most courses, students are evaluated by an "A", "B", "C", or "NC" grade. In some courses (noted in the individual course descriptions), students are evaluated on a satisfactory/no-credit basis, rather than a letter grade.
