Psychology

The Psychology Honors Program is a two-semester sequence whose focus is to guide honors students through the design and execution of an independent honors research project under the guidance of one or more faculty mentors. These collaborations typically occur in individual meetings, as well as group meetings as part of the faculty member’s research team. This research provides the basis for a thesis that, upon completion, is presented and defended by the student before an examining committee and the student’s project advisor. Honors work in psychology is open to students who have demonstrated high scholastic achievement and the motivation and ability to work as scholars; students considering graduate study in psychology or another related discipline are strongly encouraged to consider applying to the program
