Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate students registered for certain courses are required to complete a research component for their course credit.

Participating as a research assistant can be invaluable if you wish to pursue an advanced degree in psychology or health related areas. In fact, many graduate programs consider research experience a “must” for prospective students. When you participate in research you will have the opportunity to work closely with faculty members and graduate students to build meaningful mentoring relationships. Additionally, successful interactions with faculty members is a great way to secure letters of recommendation for graduate study or employment.
