The SSRC is committed to providing an environment in which CSUF students can participate in applied learning and engage in High-Impact Practices (HIP). This allows them to gain the knowledge and skills that will not only support their classroom education but also improve their chances of being employed in a related field after graduation. The SSRC internship experience takes a student through the entire process of survey research. We are committed to a learning-by-doing model in which students have the opportunity to be involved in the design of research protocols and sampling methods, questionnaire development, data collection, quality control processes, data analysis, and report production. However, the experience can be crafted for each student to emphasize the area of social science or applied survey research considered most important to them. Moreover, Interns receive training, supervision, and feedback from professional research methodologists and are supported by SSRC staff at all levels.
