The institutes challenge students who excel academically, providing experiences they would not encounter in their own high school classroom. The first week of the institutes begins June 18. Enrollment is competitive. Only 100 students are accepted. Students must submit transcripts in addition to an essay and letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor.
Students can choose from three week long programs of study.
During that time, they live on campus. Today Students will learn that the study of psychology is a science, a social science and even an art as they explore brain functions, memory, personality, dreaming and gender stereotypes. Students will conduct their own study of the genders as they take a field trip to the Cincinnati Zoo at 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 21. This institute will be led by UC psychology faculty Daniel Langmeyer and Paula Shear. The Practice and Ethics of Medicine Students will research actual case studies as they explore how the tough ethical decisions are made in medicine.
