Penn State Lehigh Valley to offer variety of summer courses for credit

Editor's Note: Penn State has extended the remote-delivery period for all classes into the summer. No in-class courses will be offered at Penn State Lehigh Valley. Forty-five online courses will be offered.

Penn State Lehigh Valley has announced 45 different for-credit courses that will be available for online completion this summer, along with 6 for-credit in-class courses available for students who prefer in-person offerings. In-person classes will be held contingent upon the status of the global outbreak and with the safety of students, faculty, staff and community members in mind.

"There are some great benefits to taking summer courses at Penn State Lehigh Valley. It offers an opportunity to graduate at a faster rate, experience smaller class sizes, and it provides students with the chance to focus on a challenging class in a condensed summer format,” said Denise O'Neill, director of enrollment management at Penn State Lehigh Valley. “When we assess our summer course offerings, this is some of the positive feedback we have received from visiting and Penn State students."

These courses cover a variety of subject areas and will be held during two sessions. Registration is now open. This course listing is subject to change.
