A centerpiece of our major is our core course sequence, typically taken during the sophomore and junior years. The four core courses (learning, neuroscience, social, and personality) all contain labs in which our students design and execute original, data-gathering research studies. Many of our undergraduate students present their work at professional conferences and/or publish in scholarly journals. All students also are required to take courses in statistics and research methods.
Senior psychology majors either complete an 8-hour/week internship in an area of career interest or complete a year-long research project working one-on-one with a full-time faculty member. Thus, our students are embedded throughout the four years in experiential learning outside the classroom, requiring them to work in groups, develop original ideas, solve problems, conduct scholarly library research, and actively participate in the professional world.
