Many of our faculty members lead ongoing research projects and take on students to join as research assistants, either as volunteers or internships (applicable for PSYC 495). Working as a research assistant allows students to gain valuable hands-on research experience in the psychology field as well as apply classroom concepts in the academic research sphere.
You can find the the current projects, descriptions, and requirements for each faculty project on this page.
