Students in the Department of Behavioral Sciences frequently conduct research under the direction of a faculty member. They have presented their work at undergraduate research conferences such as Meeting of Minds and the Michigan Undergraduate Research Forum as well as professional academic meetings.
Psychology offers an Honors Program which provides special opportunities for gifted students, including a special seminar and research in collaboration with faculty members. Students are accepted for the honors program at the midpoint of their junior year. As part of the honors courses, students will prepare an empirical research project carried out under the supervision of a faculty member and approved by the director of the Honors Program.
