Economics Summer 2025 Courses

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!

*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.
