Research Opportunities

Many of the psychology faculty members at University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point are actively involved in research projects in various areas of psychology.

A student can work with a professor on directed readings, original experimental or survey research, applied internships, or pursue some other project of special interest. Students interested in graduate school or pursuing a career in psychology are strongly encouraged to take part in one or more of these activities.

Research Courses and Opportunities

One of the most enriching experiences you can have as a psychology major or minor is involvement in research. Your involvement in research can occur at several different levels, depending on the faculty member supervising the research:  

• You can volunteer to assist a faculty member with a project that is being conducted. (No course credit.)  
• You can become an integral part of the research study design and implementation, gaining course credit in the process (PSYC 399).  
• You can design a study of your own and, with a faculty member supervising your project, you can gain course credit (PSYC 399).
