Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research

Welcome

Welcome to the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research!

Founded in 1963, the ICPSR Summer Program is recognized throughout the world as the preeminent forum for basic and advanced training in the methodologies and technologies of social science research. We serve a diverse multidisciplinary and international constituency. Our general instructional philosophy emphasizes the integration of methodological strategies with the theoretical and practical concerns that arise in research on substantive social issues. The ICPSR Summer Program also creates a unique and supportive social environment which facilitates professional networking and encourages the exchange of ideas about the theory and practice of social science research.

Thank you for your interest in the ICPSR Summer Program! We have already started working on the 2009 course schedule, and will post information as soon as it becomes available. Meanwhile, please feel free to browse this site to learn about ICPSR, the Summer Program, our courses, our instructors, and visitor information for Ann Arbor.

Announcements

2008 ICPSR Summer Program

The 2008 ICPSR Summer Program was a great success! Our first five-day workshops began on June 2. The two four-week sessions ran from June 23 through July 18, and from July 21 through August 15.

  • We offered a total of 50 courses on a wide variety of methodological and substantive topics.

  • The Hubert M. Blalock Lecture Series presented 13 sets of lectures on statistical topics, substantive issues, and professional development.

  • The 2008 Summer Program had a record-breaking total of 832 participants.

2009 ICPSR Summer Program

We have already started planning for the 2009 Summer Program. Most of the four-week statistical and substantive courses from the 2008 schedule will be offered again in 2009. Similarly, we anticipate that many of the three- to five-day workshops on statistical topics will appear again on the 2009 schedule. However, the three- to five-day substantive workshops tend to change from year to year; we will provide information as soon as it is available.

  • The first four-week session in the 2009 ICPSR Summer Program will run from June 22, 2009 through July 17, 2009.

  • The second four-week session in the 2009 ICPSR Summer Program will run from July 20, 2009 through August 14, 2009.

  • Additional Summer Program courses (in shorter, three- and five-day formats) will be offered from the beginning of June through the end of August, in a variety of locations across the country, as well as in Ann Arbor.

  • We will begin posting information about the 2009 ICPSR Summer Program course list and schedule in December 2008. Registration will begin in February 2009.
