Please choose from the following:*
One 2-week full course. (Students successfully completing a full course will earn 3 credits from Michigan State University).

Half courses June 5-9, 2023
Half courses June 12-16, 2023
A single one-week half course only (Students attending only one half course are not eligible to enroll for university credit. They can, however, ask to have their homework and exams graded and will be informed of their rating when the school is over.)
Class sizes are limited. Priority will be given to those who enroll for credit either via our academic host (Michigan State University) or through their home university if USPAS courses are directly co-listed (i.e. Indiana University, MIT, MSU) or are available via Special Topics courses. Auditors will be admitted on a space-available basis only after those seeking credit / a grade. Those unable to enroll for credit (including international students living outside the U.S.) will be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
International participants not currently in the U.S. may participate but they cannot earn Michigan State University credit. They may ask that their performance be graded and when the session is over the USPAS will provide a letter confirming participation and grade.
