Graduate Studies Program
Let's make the future exponentially better
Singularity University’s Graduate Studies Program empowers participants with the tools, knowledge and skills for positively impacting billions of people.
The Graduate Studies Program (GSP) is held every summer at the NASA Research Park in Silicon Valley, California. Our 10-week immersive learning program accepts 80 participants who either apply directly to SU, or who compete in and win Global Impact Competitions (GIC).
GSP14 was made possible in part with support from the Singularity Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

What are exponential technologies?
Technologies that demonstrate continued accelerating growth of capabilities (speed, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, or power), driven both by advances in the individual technologies themselves, as well as through their interplay and synergies.
GSP faculty and guest speakers are renowned technology experts, leading entrepreneurs, notable CEOs, and top venture capitalists dedicated to applying exponential technologies to addressing Global Grand Challenges (GGC)—problems affecting at least 1 billion people.

Our 10^9+ Challenge
The Graduate Studies Program actively recruits multidisciplinary and multicultural participants with diverse perspectives for creating sustainable global impact. Participants in GSP 2014 represented 35 countries.
To amplify team project success during the program, GSP participants are provided with access to cutting-edge hardware & software tools (Autodesk Innovation Lab), 3D printers & scanners (3D Systems), wet lab & hackerspace (BioCurious), and specialized makerspace (TechShop).
In addition to the resources mentioned above, GSP participants are powerfully connected to Singularity University’s alumni community of entrepreneurs, inventors, mentors, and investors.
