This summer school offers an intensive one-week course in topics related to the physics of the Sun. The course is designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students with an interest in solar physics and who may possibly want to pursue a career in solar physics, space physics, or related field.  The purpose is to provide an introduction to solar physics for students that do not have an opportunity to take such a course at their home institution. There will be approximately 15-20 lectures and additonal activites.  Topics to be covered in this course include solar radiative transfer, helioseismology, solar interior, chromospheric and photospheric magnetic fields, solar magnetohydrodynamics, corona and solar wind, solar activity, magnetic reconnection, and high-energy charged particles.  There will also be tours of the facilities and opportunities to observe the Sun directly.

This summer school is supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation
