CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM

Chautauqua Short Courses are an annual series of forums in which scholars at the frontiers of various sciences meet intensively for several days with undergraduate teachers of science. The courses provide an opportunity for invited scholars to communicate new knowledge, concepts and techniques directly to college teachers in ways which are immediately beneficial to their teaching. The primary aim is to enable undergraduate science teachers to keep their teaching current and relevant to today's world. Typically, the Course Director meets with some 25 college teachers for three or more successive days of full time activity. For courses with laboratory or field components, note is made in the course description. The Field Center assists participants with low cost lodging and meals arrangements. For most courses the only fee is the $50 application fee which is sent with the application. It is returned if an appointment is not possible. Field courses may have extra fees which are noted in the course description. Applications are accepted at any time, however, earlier applications are more likely to be successful since some courses fill and are closed.
