The Ohio State Summer School in Social Sciences in Warsaw is an intensive training and research program offered at the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN), and is part of the Cross-National Studies: Interdisciplinary Research and Training Program (CONSIRT). It is an official Study Abroad program of The Ohio State University.
The program contains two tracks, one for undergraduate and one for graduate students, to provide students at different academic levels the opportunity to engage first-hand in studying post-communist European countries in comparative perspective. The number of participants enrolled in the Summer School is regulated to keep class size small, allowing for plenty of individual attention. In addition to classroom work with OSU and PAN instructors, students will visit major international organizations that assess social and political change in the region and meet with experts in cross-national research. Field trips and cultural activities will complement classroom work.
Sociology students will earn 12 semester credit hours for: SOC 3549: Statistics in Sociology (3 credit hours), (b) its application to substantive problems pertaining to social and political change in Central and Eastern Europe, subsumed by the SOC 4699: Undergraduate Research in Sociology (6 credit hours), and (c) SOC 5503 Social Change in Central and Eastern Europe (3 credit hours).
