High School Summer Program
This summer, IIT Institute of Psychology is offering “Psychology in Everyday Life” to introduce high school students to the profession of psychology. The work shop will be a rich learning experience designed to help students make the connection between psychological principles and human behavior in everyday life. Students will acquire a broad array of facts about the developing child, the aging adult and everything else that occurs across the lifespan.

Format
Field trips are included. Lectures are minimal. There are no multiple-choice midterms and no final paper. However, there are plenty of group discussions about the things that confuse, delight, anger, and fascinate students in their everyday lives.

“Psychology in Everyday Life” is a one-week series of all-day workshops for commuting students. The same one-work workshop will be offered twice this summer, from Monday, July 14 to Friday, July 18, and again from Monday, July 21 to Friday, July 25. The workshop will run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day.

Applications are due on Friday, June 6, 2008. The application form, including instructions, is available for download below:

The cost of the program is $485 which includes all materials, refreshments and lunch for the participants. Partial scholarships are available for students with financial need.

Teachers keep records of performance and may write letter of recommendation, as requested.
