Overview

At UCSC, online courses are just like their face-to-face equivalents. Students are challenged, encouraged to think deeply, and expected to perform undergraduate university-level work.

In High School Summer Online, students will: 

  • Attend online synchronous or asynchronous undergraduate college classes with current UCSC students, visiting college students from across the country, and other high school students
  • Earn academic credit that is transferable to a future college or university (or back to high school)
  • Have the opportunity to practice and demonstrate what they learn individually and in groups through discussion forums, writing assignments, projects, and video conferences
