Summer Research Institutes 

Taft Summer Research Institutes are week-long, in-person, non-credit bearing short courses in humanistic research methods open to all UC undergraduates, by application. Designed to build connections with faculty, graduate student, and community partner researchers, Taft Summer Research Institutes will prepare students to develop and pursue independent research projects. Each institute will offer a unique methodological and/or creative practice focus and meet in person. Accepted students must commit to attend all sessions and complete a post-institute survey. There is no cost to attend. Lunch will be provided each day.
