Catch up, get ahead, have fun

Need reasons to attend summer session this year? How about: you can catch up on classes you've been putting off, you can get ahead on your path to graduation AND you get to enjoy summer time in Corvallis!

An added perk: everyone pays in-state tuition for on-campus courses.*
*Does not apply to VetMed or PharmD courses or INTO students.
