Student Research Experiences

Our faculty and graduate students are always engaged in research and frequently recruit participants for research studies. Our core curriculum course in Introduction to Psychology (PSYC 107) includes a hands-on, experiential component that involves participants actively in research in the discipline.

Additional classes sometimes offer course credit or extra credit opportunities that involve participation in research. Your instructor will provide details about this participation and alternative to participation to you in the syllabus and in class.

Spring 2023 Research Experience dates:

  • Prescreening Dates: January 20 – 27 at 5:00pm
  • Subject Pool Opens: January 30 at 9:00am
  • Subject Pool Closes: May 2 at 5pm

All credits must be completed by the closing date. You will not be able to access your Sona account after the it is closed.

It is advisable that you finish your experiments early in the semester instead of waiting until the end.
