Honors and Psychology
The Department of Psychology offers numerous opportunities for honors course work in psychology. There are two options for students to complete honors course work in psychology, as outlined in Honors Course Work in Psychology (pdf).
- Take a 5000 (Independent Honors Research) or 5010 (Independent Honors Fieldwork) Series honors course.
- Take a regular course with honors credit.
Faculty Mentorship
As a first step in pursuing honors research, review research areas of Psychology Department faculty, and then contact faculty whose research fits your interests.
When seeking a faculty research adviser, students should expect to have a conversation about their preparation for research (e.g., strong grades in PSYC 3400, 3450W, and other relevant course work).
