Psychology Program

To participate in this program, participants must successfully complete the Eureka Program Research Topic 101 course before enrolling in any group or one-on-one research workshops

Despite advances in technology and research, the way people study has remained largely unchanged for the past century. Research has shown that most students rely on intuition rather than evidence-based advice when it comes to studying, and only a small percentage receive guidance based on solid evidence. However, recent developments in the field of Self-Regulated Learning are focused on identifying effective study habits and correcting common misconceptions to help students achieve their full potential. Eureka Alumni from this program have received admission offers to some of the top National and Liberal Arts Colleges in the United States, such as Harvard University, Williams College, University of Chicago, and Cornell University, to name a few. Alumni from this program have continued to pursue majors in Psychology, Neurobiology, Biochemistry, Comparative Literature, and Economics.

The research experience and skills students receive at the Eureka Program have helped students get accepted to selective programs such as the Stanford Summer Humanities Institute. 

Students from this program are also very engaged in their communities, sharing in volunteering activities and starting non-profit organizations to help the community. One alumni spends his free time volunteering at an organization that provides food and materials for those in need, while another student volunteers her time teaching migrant children music. 

Many alumni from this program have received top awards like Scholastic Art & Writing National Awards, U.S. Presidential Scholars Awards, and various awards in their communities.
