College credit may be earned by completing the APSI.  Taking the APSI for credit is optional. The university waves the tuition charges in support of the AP workshop program; however, those taking the APSI for credit must apply for graduate admission (normally non-degree seeking) at Butler University.  A graduate applications may be completed on line with no application fee required.   Use your web browser to enter http://go.butler.edu.  Click on apply and follow the directions.

Please note, the application for the APSI is sent to Joe Kirsch, Department of Chemistry, Butler University, Indianapolis, IN 46208 not the admissions office.

The graduate application should be received at least ten days before the APSI. Courses available are CH518 (Chemistry) and  HS390 (World History) (each for 3 credits). Your workshop instructor will set standards/expectations for grading and will provide a list of those taking the workshop for credit after the first session. Those electing the workshop for credit option will then be enrolled in one of the courses after the first session on the first day of the workshop.  Please note that since the tuition is waived for the credit option there is no reduction in workshop/APSI cost for not electing the credit option - cost are the same with or without credit option :).
