Summer Session I: May 18- June 26, 2026

Summer Session II: June 29- August 7, 2026

Get Ahead. Stay Involved.

Ready to get ahead, catch up, or explore something new? Summer Session at LMU is your chance to keep the momentum going. Choose from a wide range of course types, including online, in person, and hybrid, and stay connected with the LMU community while moving closer to your academic goals.

With small class sizes, shorter terms, and inspiring faculty, summer is the perfect time to focus, experiment, and shine. Whether you're tackling a core requirement or diving deeper into your major, you’ll get the support and attention you need to thrive.
