Course tutorials

York faculty can also arrange for SCS to supply instruction to university classes on the use of SAS and SPSS.

Seminar Series

SCS also hosts an informal seminar series and discussion group for faculty and SCS staff on topics of current interest. This year we are considering Structural Equations Models. In 1999/2000 the series was devoted to Hierarchical Models.

In addition, a three-week Spring Seminar Series is presented annually in conjunction with the Institute for Social Research on topics relating to social research methods.
