Home  › Conferences  › Annual Meeting  › Short Courses Short Courses APSA offers short courses on the Wednesday prior to the start of the annual meeting. Short courses are half- or full-day sessions that provide diverse opportunities for professional development and offer attendees the chance to connect with scholars from a range of backgrounds.  Sponsored and organized by APSA organized sections, related groups, and other non-APSA affiliated organizations, short courses are held on the annual meeting premises unless otherwise noted. Locations, registration fees, and other details are all handled by the organizers themselves. Organize a Short Course APSA organized sections, related groups, and non-APSA affiliated organizations may propose and organize short courses. Individuals proposing a course under organized section sponsorship should be sure to discuss plans with the section chair/officers before initiating the application process. Attend a Short Course (Note: Registration will open in Spring 2012.) To participate in a short course, you must register for it prior to the annual meeting. To register for a short course, log in to MyAPSA using the login boxes on the top of this page and follow the links to "Register for a short course."
