ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research 2015

Summer program

Since 1963, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) has offered the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research as a complement to its data services. The Summer Program provides a comprehensive program of studies in research design, statistics, data analysis, and social science methodology.

The ICPSR Summer Program offers two four-week sessions that include a variety of statistical workshops and lectures, as well as workshops that examine the impact of various methodologies on specific substantive issues. Additionally, the four-week curriculum features nightly informal lectures presented by research scholars who have made important contributions to the development of social science methodology. The four-week sessions take place in Ann Arbor, Michigan on the University of Michigan campus.

The ICPSR Summer Program also offers numerous 3- to 5-day workshops on a variety of statistical topics and substantive issues. Many of these workshops take place in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as well as other locations across the United States and Canada.

Participants in each year's Summer Program generally represent about 25 different departments and disciplines from over 350 colleges, universities, and organizations around the world. While the largest number of participants are drawn from sociology, psychology, and political science, the increasing number of individuals from disciplines across the social and behavioral sciences—including education, economics, public health, public policy, social work, criminal justice, and business administration, among others—illustrates the breadth of interest in and impact of the Summer Program.
