What ESP is not

While we take pride in being all we can be, there are several things we are not, either by choice or by law:

  • ESP is not a department of MIT, and we run our day-to-day operations independently. As a student group, we are part of the Association of Student Activities, and we answer to the Student Activities Office.
  • ESP is not the MIT Admissions Office, nor are we formally connected to them in any way. Attending ESP programs will not particularly help get you into MIT, any more than any other extra-curricular classes would.
  • ESP is not an accredited learning organization of any sort. We cannot provide credit or formally give grades for our classes.
  • ESP is not a company, and does not employ any full-time or part-time staff. The people reading emails you send us and checking voice mail are all busy MIT students, as are the program directors and volunteers responsible for coordinating Splash, HSSP, and all of our other programs.
