Carnegie Mellon Summer School in Logic and Formal Epistemology

In the summer of 2012, the Department of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon
University will hold a three-week summer school in logic and formal
epistemology for promising undergraduates in philosophy, mathematics,
computer science, linguistics, economics, and other sciences.

The goals are to

  o introduce students to cross-disciplinary fields of research at an
    early stage in their career; and 
  o forge lasting links between the various disciplines.

The summer school will be held from Monday, June 4 to Thursday, June 21,
2012. There will be morning and afternoon lectures and daily problem
sessions, as well as outings and social events.

The summer school is free. That is, we will provide

  o full tuition, and
  o dormitory accommodations on the Carnegie Mellon campus.

So students need only pay round trip travel to Pittsburgh and living
expenses while there. There are no grades, and the courses do not
provide formal course credit.

Instructions for applying can be found on the summer school web page,

Materials must be received by the Philosophy Department by March 16,
2012.
