Research Opportunities for Psychology Majors
Most faculty members are actively engaged in research programs which can provide valuable and interesting experiences for the student. Often, in addition to working closely with an individual faculty member, the undergraduate student (PSYC major) has an opportunity to work and interact with other undergraduates, and with graduate students. Various opportunities are available for research experience. The Psychology Undergraduate Listserve is one source of possible research positions on campus. Students may also contact individual faculty and graduate students regarding research opportunities.
Credit may be given for completing an independent study or participating in a research project under PSYC 478 and 479. Permission of the instructor supervising the project is needed to register for these courses. Students who have identified a potential research position (PSYC479) or an independent study opportunity (PSYC478) and would like to get academic credit for this experience should obtain a contract from the Undergraduate Psychology Office (1107 Bio-Psyc Building).This contract outlines the requirements for the course. The faculty member and the student sign the contract and return it to the Undergraduate Psychology Office. Once the contract has been approved, the student may then register for the course.
