Short Courses
We are committed to advancing social science research through education and training. Each year we offer 100+ short courses on a range of topics in the social and behavioral sciences.
Short Course Categories
More than 2,250 participants, including UNC undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, attend our short courses annually. A number of courses are also open to researchers from not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and corporations.
Many of our courses are free for the UNC students – you just need to secure your spot with a small deposit that is refundable upon attendance for the full course. These courses fill up on a first-come, first-served basis. Courses that require non-refundable registration fees will indicate as much on the individual event pages.
Short course categories include:
- Quantitative Analysis: Upcoming short courses in quantitative data analysis/statistical software
- Qualitative Research: Upcoming short courses in qualitative research methods/data analysis
- Survey Research: Upcoming short courses in survey research
- Data Science: Upcoming short courses in data science
- Professional Development: Upcoming short courses highlighting skills for professionals and academics
