Session Organization and Schedule
The program will consist of two two-week sessions. The first session will run July 2 through July 13, and the second session from July 16 through July 27. Classes will be held Monday through Thursday.
In 2011, the program included Friday visits to the European Patent Office; the BMW factory; Siemens; and GEMA, one of the largest societies of authors for works of music worldwide.
Final examinations are tentatively scheduled for July 13 and July 27 for the first and second session respectively. Please note that some courses may require final papers or writing assignments rather than final examinations and that professors reserve the right to adjust the examination date. The method of evaluation for each course is indicated in parentheses after the description of that course below.
Students may participate in one or both sessions; an admissions preference may be given to students who choose to participate in both sessions. Students may enroll in a maximum of two courses per session. Please note that if you plan to apply for financial aid, federal regulations require that you be enrolled for at least 3 credits over the course of the summer. We reserve the right to limit enrollment in a course due to seating capacity. Affected students will be informed if this becomes necessary.
The exact course schedule and course description for Summer 2012 will be posted shortly.
