The 2013 Summer University Program

July 8 to 26 in San Jose, California

The Summer University Program brings Computer Science students from Switzerland, India, and the US together every summer to attend short courses, work on projects, and go on excursions. Full details about the program can be found here:

The Summer University

SU13

This summer 20 students from the Vaud School for Engineering and Business (HEIG-VD) in Yverdon, Switzerland, and five students from PES Institute of Technology in Bangalore, India will join 10 students from SJSU for a three week program on the SJSU campus. SJSU students will earn three units of credit (in CS180) which satisfies an elective requirement for either the BSCS or MSCS degree. (Students will receive the credit at the end of the Fall 2013 semester.)

Applications are closed, but SJSU students interested in getting on the waiting list should follow the application procedure outlined here:

Applying for the Summer University Program

SJSU students will be responsible for their own room and board, otherwise the program is free.
