The Summer Session Program is a course with a interdisciplinary curriculum emphasizes international cooperation and provides students with varied perspectives on the world’s space activities—perspectives normally reserved for those with years of diverse professional experience. The program includes a wide variety of activities, including lectures by renowned experts, hands-on activities and projects, team work exercises and professional visits, and each year it evolves to better meet the needs of its students and their employers.

Throughout the course, students are encouraged to contribute their own ideas, knowledge and enthusiasm, while—in accordance with ISU's philosophy—being open to and learning from others' unique perspectives.

All course work at ISU is conducted in English.
