According to Queen, the selected professors "are highly respected for their scholarship and their teaching."
And many summer school students agree, saying they are pleased with the outside professors.
"I love my class so much," says California native Kristen C. Weiss. "It's a political philosophy class taught by a professor from Brown, and it really doesn't matter that he's not from Harvard, because he's so good."
Queen says the program has a strong history and has received few complaints.
"We have offered summer school since 1871 and a great majority of students are delighted with the courses," Queen says. "It's extremely rare for me to receive a call from a student saying he was disappointed in a professor or a course."
And he adds that summer school students have complete control over whose classes they take.
"We strongly urge SSP students to actively shop classes," Queen says. "Go up to the instructor and make an informed decision. None of them were forced to take that class and nobody was saying 'you have to take this or that,' because there are no requirements."
