Registration for U of A Summer Courses Now Open
Current students at the U of A can register for 2025 summer and May intersession courses during their normal registration period.
Summer classes are offered in 10-week, eight-week and five-week sessions. The 10-week, eight-week and first of the five-week sessions begin on May 27. The second five-week session begins on June 30. Students can also take classes during a 10-day intersession held May 12-23.
Taking courses in the summer has many benefits. Students can work ahead in their degree program or lighten their course load for the next semester to create opportunities for internships, study abroad or work-study programs. Study abroad, research and internship opportunities are also available during the summer term. Students should discuss individual options with their academic advisers.

U of A student Alex E. also stated, "Summer classes have been incredibly beneficial to my academic journey here at UARK. My summer classes were a perfect blend of education, community and laughter mixed with individualized, student-centered care."
Online courses are available for students who may not be able to commute to campus during the summer semester. Named one of the Best Online Programs in 2025 by U.S. News and World Report, the U of A's online courses allow students who can't visit campus each day to take classes and further their education.
