Beyond the Classroom

Undergraduate Research

Psychology majors at ÐÔ°®Ñо¿Ëù have many opportunities to engage in research in close collaboration with faculty. Usually reserved for graduate students at other schools, undergraduate research is a great way to deeply explore the field of psychology and develop skills that will have lasting benefit, no matter what field you pursue after graduation. Our labs cover a wide range of areas within psychology, including:

  • Adaptation, cognition and evolution
  • Applied psychology
  • Creativity research
  • Cognition, language and literacy
  • Emotion and personality
  • Group and organizational dynamics
  • Human development
  • Learning and behavior
  • Social and emotional development
  • And more!

Internships

You’ll be involved in designing studies, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting at conferences. Internship opportunities at local clinics and hospitals are a great way to develop practical skills in the field.

Service

Psychology students also are active in co-curricular groups, such as the Psychology Club and Psi Chi (the international psychology honor society), which offer opportunities for service and civic engagement.
