At the Division of Continuing and International Education (DCIE) and UOnline, we provide many opportunities for diverse learners to advance personally, academically, and professionally, and for each one to achieve their goals in the manner that works best for them. Students are at the center of all that we do, and we provide exceptional opportunities and support for each one.

Our Summer Sessions 2023 Catalog highlights a wide array of courses and programs for all ages and all levels that are available this Summer at the University of Miami.

DCIE specializes in serving the “new traditional” student by providing programs that are flexible, affordable, and that fit easily into busy lives. We welcome students from around the world and through our programs help them transition to college life in the U.S.

Whether you plan to spend your summer building skills critical to advancing your career by pursuing our Bachelor of General Studies degree, taking online courses for credit towards graduation, or exploring new interests, our Summer Sessions help students stay on track or expand their horizons.

You may wish to pursue the next chapter in your career with intensive, career-oriented certification programs, micro-credentials and badges for specific skills and professional content areas.

Or you can stay engaged and connected through our Osher Lifelong Learning Institute for UM community members over 50.

For high school students looking to enhance their college applications and gain real experience living and learning on a college campus, UM’s premier Summer Scholars Program provides an array of educational opportunities for pre-college teens to explore their existing passions or discover new ones.

We also offer language programs designed for healthcare professionals who want to increase competencies in Medical Spanish or Intensive Language programs for students who want to improve their ability to communication in a variety of languages.

If you are looking to follow a passion, define your life, change your life, or enrich your life, begin your journey with us.

Go Canes!
