The ASU curriculum is designed to give you a powerful enrichment experience in science and mathematics. You will actively pursue an independent project and write a research paper, which you will present at the end of the program. Your professors will work closely with you on your project and will guide you in the preparation of your paper. The Academic Program
Summer Ventures is a four week academic program allowing students to participate in a variety of research, demonstration, problem solving and technical writing courses. Each student will investigate and complete an original research project. All students write a scientific paper about their investigation and give an oral report to their class. Summer Ventures offers special instruction not available through high school classes. None of the offerings duplicate either the high school or the college curriculum. All of the classes are designed to enrich and complement college preparation. Students are expected to participate fully and perform as an independent learner. Students should expect their professor to evaluate their work. These evaluations may be in the form of papers, projects, reports or by other means. A summary of the quality of the student's work will be provided. Students who successfully complete the program are awarded a certificate at the closing ceremony. To supplement your research skills, all students will participate in:
The courses described below are unique to the ASU Summer Ventures program. Student assignments are based on the information provided in their applications and their indications of preferences. Since most of the class work requires a considerable amount of individual arrangement and preparation prior to the beginning of the program, it is not likely that students will be permitted to change any courses once they have been notified and accepted. Students are required to attend their classes and all other academic components of the institute. In line with your academic interests, you will be assigned to one of the following research areas and work closely with a university professor and her/his staff. 2009 Course Offerings:
