The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research is the world's largest collection of digital social science data. These data can be used for secondary research, instructional activities, and to write articles, papers or theses.

Data cover topics including sociology, political science, economics, demography, education, child care, health care, crime, minority populations, aging, terrorism, substance abuse, mental health, public policy, and international relations.

Students, faculty, and staff have direct access to ICPSR data holdings from any campus computer and may download data from ICPSR's Web site. First-time users will be asked to create an ICPSR MyData account; thereafter, you will need your email address and password to download data.

ICPSR also hosts the renowned Summer Program in Quantitative Methods for those desiring to study beginning or advanced social science research methods and statistics. For undergraduates, ICPSR provides additional opportunities in the form of student internships and a student research paper competition.

Assistance in locating, accessing, and analyzing data is available. Contact the data coordinator if you need help in any of these areas.
