What is Summer Blitz?


Summer Blitz is a fast-paced, three-week college experience designed for students who are ready to make real progress in a short amount of time. Think of it as a focused academic sprint—where you can earn credits quickly, build momentum, and get a head start before the fall semester begins.

With Summer Blitz, You Can:

  • Earn up to 7 credit hours in just 3 weeks
  • Take courses that will transfer to your 4-year college this fall 
  • Choose to live on campus or commute from home
  • Take advantage of small, in-person classes on the Highland campus
  • Tackle a class our two over summer to accelerate your degree completion
  • Experience campus life early if you’re a graduating high school senior preparing for fall
  • Stay active and get in extra practice if you’re an athlete preparing for the season


Pair Summer Blitz with our Highland Summer Course Offerings to build a flexible, high-impact summer schedule. Summer Blitz is built for students who don’t want to wait. It’s about using your summer intentionally—making progress, gaining confidence, and starting the fall semester already ahead.
