Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Fall and Spring semesters comprise 14 weeks of teaching plus one week of exams. Each course usually meets three to four times per week for a total of 56 contact hours per semester. The summer program is eight weeks long, meets two hours per day, four days a week with the expectation that students will take two full-credit courses. Normally, one Budapest Semesters in Mathematics course transfers either as 3 or 4 semester hours depending on an evaluation of course material done by the home institution.
BSM classes are held at the College International, a Hungarian-based educational institution. Classes are taught in English by eminent Hungarian scholars, most of whom have had teaching experience in North American universities. In keeping with Hungarian tradition, teachers closely monitor each individual student’s progress. Considerable time is devoted to problem solving and encouraging student creativity . Emphasis is on depth of understanding rather than on the quantity of material. Courses may be taken Audit or Graded.
The imprint of the Hungarian tradition is particularly prominent in some of the courses.
Eligibility: To be eligible, students typically:
- have at least sophomore status
- are in good academic standing
- have completed one semester of Real Analysis (a first course in the Theory of Analysis) or Abstract Algebra by the start of the program
- are motivated to study mathematics.
There are 4 options: fall, winter, summer, and year-long. This deadline is for the year-long program (fall-winter).
