Recently Offered Major Courses

The cornerstone of the ASP academic experience is the Major Course. With more than 20 course options to choose from, students are encouraged to extend beyond comfort zones, regardless of academic background, to pursue a comprehensive examination of a single discipline. The major course experience runs throughout the day as students build on their classroom learning through nightly study halls, field trips, observatory and laboratory work, and performances. Approximately 100 hours with classmates, teachers, and interns over the program’s five weeks provides time for exceptional gains in understanding.
