Chicago University Summer School

Immerse yourself in one of your passions and take advantage of the rich educational resources offered by the University through our Immersion programs for high school students. In these undergraduate-level courses, you will get personalized attention from faculty, researchers, and other professionals who will lead you through workshop discussions, research projects, and other hands-on activities.

The biggest advantage of this program is its caliber in teaching. The depth and style of teaching was perfect, keeping a perfect balance of serious work and an exciting atmosphere. Despite having to read tons and writing an essay, I was still eager to jump out of bed and dash into class

Collegiate Writing: The Meaning of Fantasy Fantasy has often been regarded as a somehow inferior genre because it supposedly leads us to “escape” from reality. But what if fantasy is in fact a pursuit to uncover things that otherwise confound us about the human condition, especially in unsettling moments that lack precedent? Could fantasy provide a necessary way to reimagine our world and our lives? This intensive course in analytical writing at the collegiate level will offer a chance to think through these questions and to craft rhetorically-effective essays that explore the meaning of fantasy.

Contagion: Infectious Agents & Diseases (Session 1) COVID, Zika, Ebola, HIV, SARS…in our increasingly globalized and mobile world, infectious diseases can emerge and spread faster than ever before, making epidemics, even pandemics, a real possibility.

Creative Writing This course is nearly at capacity. We strongly recommend you consider at least one alternative course option for your application. What is education? asks the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard: I suppose that education was the curriculum one had to run through in order to catch up with oneself.  When we speak of finding your voice or writing your story or mining your material, we speak of things you already possess but that take work to realize. Creative Writing is that work.  Session(s) Session I

Fairy Tales and the Construction of Childhood In this course we will study fairy tales within the broader context of the history of childhood and practices of education and socialization. Today, fairy tales are commonly considered the stuff of children’s literature and film. But as historians such as Philippe Aries remind us, before the Enlightenment children were seen as little adults and childhood was therefore not considered as a distinctive period of life.

Introduction to Creative Coding This course is an introduction to programming, using exercises in graphic design and digital art to motivate and employ basic tools of computation (such as variables, conditional logic, and procedural abstraction). We will write code in JavaScript and related languages and we will work with a variety of digital media, including vector graphics, raster images, animations, and web applications. See sample syllabus here. Session(s) Session I

Introduction to Proof-based Discrete Mathematics This course will introduce you to higher-level mathematical argumentation and proof, an understanding of which is crucial to making the transition from high school to undergraduate math coursework. What we take as given early on in the study of mathematics actually has reasoning behind it, and this course will show you how to begin to uncover and articulate that reasoning for yourself. Session(s) Session I

Introduction to the Philosophy of Life and Death The focus of this course will be how philosophy arises in response to problems in the conditions of human life, especially our mortality and the prevalence of social injustice. Every one of us will die one day; and every one of us suffers from and/or helps perpetuate some form of injustice. These can be sources of alienation, suffering, and bad choices; they can also be sources of conviction, bravery, and wisdom. Session(s) Session II

Justice, the State, and the Individual This course is nearly at capacity. We strongly recommend you consider at least one alternative course option for your application. Session(s) Session I

Life in the Universe & The Laws of Physics This course treats our current understanding of the role that the laws of physics play in the development, existence, persistence, and prevalence of life in the universe. Starting with the big bang theory, we will explore how the laws of physics guided the evolution of the universe through the processes most likely to have produced life on earth as it exists today. We will then consider what the laws of physics have to say about life elsewhere in the universe. Session(s) Session I
