Economics Summer 2025 Best Bets
Summer session enrollment opens for continuing students on May 1 at 9 a.m.!
Taking advantage of courses offered in summer has multiple rewards: It is an opportunity for you to take a much smaller class than in normal quarters, it helps you get pre-requisites and major requirements out of the way, and is a great excuse to spend the summer in the woods! All UCSC undergrads will only pay for up to 10 credits in summer tuition - no matter how many more you take!
*If you are having prerequisite issues while registering for a summer class, please contact the advisers in the Economics Department Office by emailing them at econ_ugrad_coor@ucsc.edu.
