Use your time wisely and get some classes out of the way. WSU's Think 30 initiative encourages students to take 30 hours a year and stay on track to graduate in four years. Summer classes help you reach that goal, lighten up your load for the year and still give you time for all your summer plans. Why not be productive this summer by working toward graduating sooner?

The summer is a good time to explore your interests. Having doubts? That’s completely normal, but you’ll never know if you don’t try. Try a class different from your major to see what other passions you might have.

Summer classes are a lot shorter than fall or spring classes. Get them done in eight weeks or less and still have time for your summer plans.

Summer classes offer more one-on-one time with your instructors, which could lead to a better grade.

It’s never too late. During the summer, you can ease your way back into the college grind.

For the busiest of bees, online classes maybe the answer. All you need is internet access and you’re in!

Tired of the hustle and bustle during the spring and fall? Wish there was more parking available? You get dibs on campus amenities during the summer! Wichita State is a laid-back environment during the summer with fewer people in your way on your path to awesomeness.
