Dear Students,
Are you passionate about mathematics and the learning/teaching of
mathematics? Would you like to spend a semester in a beautiful
historical city (home to Paul Erdos and George Polya), with one of
the most vibrant cultures in Europe? How about learning in small,
lively classes where instructors challenge each student to deeply
engage with the material?
If you answered "Yes" to these questions, then please consider
Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education (BSME), a semester-long
study abroad program in Budapest, Hungary, designed for
undergraduates and recent graduates interested in the learning and
teaching of secondary mathematics. At BSME, students explore the
Hungarian approach, in which a strong and explicit emphasis is placed
on problem solving, mathematical creativity, and communication.
BSME welcomes students who are (1) currently pursuing secondary
mathematics teaching license at their home institutions, (2) planning
to pursue other paths to mathematics licensure, or (3) simply curious
about learning and teaching of mathematics. And BSME courses are
designed so that credits will be transferable to American colleges
and universities.
BSME is currently accepting applications for Spring 2018, Fall 2018,
and Spring 2019 semesters and Summer 2018. Admission is rolling, with
the Spring 2018 applications due November 1. More information,
including the online application, can be found at bsmeducation.com.
The summer session is a new 6-week program called [log in to unmask] The
application deadline for this new summer session is March 1, however,

Best wishes,
