Berlin Courses 2025-2026 Academic Year 

Course Planning

BOSP course information for the upcoming academic year will be available in Stanford Explore Courses in Summer Quarter. While BOSP courses vary by quarter and year, reviewing courses from previous quarters can provide helpful context to aid your planning. If you intend to use BOSP courses to meet major or minor requirements, consult your department for confirmation. Please note that course offerings may change for a variety of reasons. We recommend discussing an enrollment contingency plan with your academic advisor/s.

Additional course options are available through Stanford Engineering Center for Global & Online Education (CGOE). More course information can be found here.
