Summer 2026 Course Offerings

Want to get ahead in your path to a degree? Looking to graduate early, or just to take some extra classes on the side for a reduced price? LCU's summer courses often offer smaller class sizes, meaning more one-on-one instruction with professors, and also come at a lower cost. Here are just a few reasons why summer courses are the best deal around:

  1. Discounted Tuition for Most Undergraduate Courses: The more hours you take, the cheaper they are! (Students must be registered from fall 2025 to guarantee summer housing)
    1. 1-4 hours @ $640 per hour
    2. 5-9 hours @ $600 per hour
    3. 10-12 hours @ $560 per hour
      (Undergraduate nursing and graduate courses have different pricing structures)
       
  2. Low Housing Costs:
    1. Junemester (Summer II) or Julymester (Summer IV) only $580 (JH and KR residents would need to move into other campus housing)
    2. Full Summer: $1,600
       
  3. Financial Aid: Students enrolled in at least 6 credit hours in summer school may receive 1/3 of their federal aid loan eligibility and may be eligible to receive Pell Grant funding for fewer than 6 hours to assist with Summer costs.
