Rolling admissions are now open for the Seoul Research Program
The regular application period has officially closed
CRI (California Research Institute) is not just a research program—
it's a place where curiosity is taken seriously.
We connect a select group of students with professors from the world’s top institutions
to explore bold questions and pursue meaningful research.
Our students don’t just write papers.
They challenge ideas, contribute to real academic conversations,
and begin a journey few at their age ever take.
At CRI, research isn’t just an academic task— it’s a mindset. Students explore unanswered questions and contribute to ideas that may one day shift how we understand the world.
Under the guidance of world-class professors, CRI students dive deep—not just into subjects, but into the process of thinking like a scholar. Through real mentorship, they grow into independent, critical thinkers ready to lead in any field.
Research at CRI builds more than your resume. It builds your voice. With a powerful narrative of curiosity and contribution, our students impress not just with grades—but with depth. And that’s what truly stands out.
These aren't just testimonials.
They're stories of transformation—of students who dared to ask questions that mattered.
