Summer Edge

Yes, for the summer of 2020 all classes are online-only. For specific information on each class, check out the schedule of classes. Some face-to-face courses may be offered in June.  

Work with your advisor to ensure your course selection continues your progress to your degree.

Base tuition for non-resident summer courses is $3347 for 3 credits. The MSU Summer Edge discounts that base cost by $350/credit. Staff in Student Accounts and Financial Aid will provide you with the best financial package possible given the terms and conditions we have with Federal Financial Aid Policy. This tuition waiver cannot be combined with any other tuition waiver or nonresident discounted tuition/scholarships you may be receiving.  Non-residents receive a $350 discount/credit, that means a discount of $1050 per 3-credit class. 

Check out the tuition and fee section for more information.  

Class start and end dates vary, with most start dates in May, June, and July. Classes are offered in the 4x4, 6 and 12 week formats. Check out the summer calendar for specific dates.
