The After-School Program (ASP) offers courses to New York City high school students interested in the sciences. There are courses in anthropology, astrophysics, Earth science, genetics, biodiversity, and more. Each course makes use of the Museum's unique resources through hall visits, lab and collections tours, talks and lectures by scientists, and hands-on activities.

ASP offers multiple sessions throughout the school year. Each session is six weeks long, and courses meet once or twice a week from 4:30 - 6:30 pm. Students may attend only one course per session. For more information about 2013 courses between April 22 and June 3, 2012, course fees, and requirements for participation, please click here.

Application deadline for this session of courses is March 31, 2013.
