Opportunities for Undergraduate Research

Psychology Majors with graduate school aspirations, especially in the non-applied areas, should actively seek opportunities for undergraduate research (talk to your Advisor), obtain support from the university (click UExplore ), present their work at regional or national conferences (we regularly attend several), and if possible publish their results (Psi Chi Journal of Undergraduate Research).  Those with applied clinical goals also benefit from undergraduate research, but they benefit more from internships and field placements with local agencies (see UE Undergraduate Internships).

Neuroscience Majors with graduate school aspirations, especially in non-applied areas, should actively seek opportunities for summer undergraduate research at well-know neuroscience laboratories, usually at large state universities, medical schools, or related research institutes (click Summer Programs or Google institutions directly and search "Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities"). Those with applied medical goals benefit from summer undergraduate research, especially at medical schools, as well as internships and field placements with local agencies (see UE Undergraduate Internships).  Usually summer programs provide financial support.
