Special Programs
The Stanford Environmental and Water Studies Summer Program is an 8-week session designed for environmental engineers and scientists seeking to expand and renew their knowledge of concepts and latest approaches. The summer curriculum, a selection of courses drawn from our degree program curriculum, explores complex water and environmental problems and issues in past, current and future contexts. Comprising both Stanford students and visitors, our diverse audience melds international perspectives and interests, and provides a uniquely enriching experience. For further information, we invite you to visit our web site or email us at ewssummer@stanford.edu. REQUIRED: This program is open to senior undergraduates or those who already possess an undergraduate degree.
Stanford-Peking
University Program combines an intensive five-week language program at Stanford
University (June 23–July 23) with a four-week practicum in Chinese at
Peking University in Beijing, China (July 27–August 21). Intensive Chinese
is offered at the first-, second-, and third-year levels. At Peking University,
there are five levels of instruction based on proficiency. Each course is equivalent
to one year of instruction. Classes meet for four hours of instruction, Monday
through Friday. Download
the Stanford-Peking application form. Call (650) 723-6355 or email asiansummerlanguage@lists.stanford.edu
for further information. High School students are not eligible for the Beijing portion of the program.
Hopkins
Marine Station offers a Marine Biology curriculum in the Summer Quarter.
Courses are open to students in all majors and expand the coverage of subjects
basic to all biological and environmental sciences and provide upper-level undergraduate
and graduate students with courses in a variety of topics related to life in
the oceans. Students are in residence at Pacific Grove and study aspects of
biology that are not available on the main campus. For further information and
an application, please see the Hopkins Marine website, http://hopkins.stanford.edu,
or email information@marine.stanford.edu.
The English for Foreign Students Program (EFS) in the
Stanford Language Center provides courses to international students in English as a second language (ESL). From the end of June to the middle of August, EFS offers a 6-week Intensive English and Academic Orientation program for international graduate students and visiting scholars in addition to a variety of ESL courses for continuing Stanford graduate students. Call (650) 723-3636 or email tafowler@stanford.edu for further information. The application can be found at the English for Foreign Students Program (EFS) website. The EFS program also offers a support workshop for international students enrolled in the High School Summer College program.
Intensive
Language Study
During the summer, Stanford's Language
Center offers a wide range of intensive language courses. Students preparing
for careers in international relations, international trade and business, the
foreign service, or academic careers find the intensive pace to be well-suited
to summer study. In many cases, a full year of university-level language instruction
is covered in eight weeks. No auditors allowed. The ratio of students to teachers
is low, ensuring personalized instruction. The following languages are being
taught this summer: Arabic, Chinese (also see Stanford-Peking University Program
above), French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. Email akeohane@stanford.edu
for further information. The application can be found at the Stanford's
Language Center website.
e-Learning Mathematics
offers university-level distance-learning courses designed for disciplined, enthusiastic, self-motivated students who desire the flexibility and self-directed nature of this nontraditional learning environment. These courses are available to undergraduates or graduate students (or high-school graduates) enrolled in the Stanford University Summer Session Summer Quarter. The application can be found at the e-Learning Mathematics website.
Stanford's Department of Chemistry offers an intensive eight-week course (Chemistry 33 & Chemistry 35) in organic chemistry which fulfills two-thirds of the organic chemistry requirement for most medical schools when taken in conjunction with the organic chemistry lab (Chemistry 36). Chemistry 33 is covered in the first four weeks. Chemistry 35 is covered in the second four weeks. Chemistry 36 is covered in eight weeks.
Students may enroll in Chemistry 33 without enrolling in Chemistry 35. Students who have completed 33 at Stanford may enroll in 35. Chemistry 33 and 35 are equivalent to the first two quarters of organic chemistry offered in the regular academic year at Stanford for chemistry, premedical, biology, engineering, and science majors.
The Physics Department offers the sequence of Physics 28 and Physics 29 which fulfills, in ten weeks, the one-year college physics requirement with lab of most medical schools.
This sequence is appropriate for biology, social science, and premedical students.
PHYSICS 28
Mechanics, Heat, and Electricity
6 units
5 weeks 6/23-7/24
PHYSICS 29
Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics
6 units
5 weeks 7/27-8/28
