EPGY Summer Institutes - Student Life

The courses at the EPGY Summer Institutes are taught by Stanford instructors who are selected for their expertise as well as their ability and experience in teaching students in the Summer Institute grade range. Daily classroom instruction is occasionally supplemented with guest lectures and special projects. The residential counselors serve a dual role as teaching assistant, so that the academic and social components of the program are fully integrated. The residential counselors are primarily Stanford undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing majors in the subject areas of the EPGY course offerings. Additional teaching assistants will provide instructional support on a drop-in basis. The ratio of instructional staff to students is approximately one-to-five or one-to-four.
