Earn Course Credit for Participating in Research
Supervised Research Courses allow you to earn course credit while you practice scientific methods as they apply in the fields of psychology or neuroscience. You will benefit from a personal mentoring relationship with a faculty member and interaction with other highly motivated psychology majors and graduate students.

- P493 - Supervised Research. Active participation in research. An independent experiment of modest magnitude, participation in ongoing research in a single laboratory.
- P494 - Supervised Research II is a continuation of P493. This course will include a journal report of the two semesters of work.
- P495 - Readings and Research in Psychology.
- P499 - Honors Thesis Research. May serve as advanced lab requirement. Click on the "Honors Degree" link above to learn more!
Advanced Laboratory Courses are not at all the same experience as completing a Supervised Research Course, but they do fulfill important degree requirements and sometimes lead students to get more deeply involved research. Click here to read the prerequisites for each course.
- P421 - Laboratory in Social Psychology. Research methodology in the study of social behavior.
- P424 - Laboratory in Sensation and Perception. The experimental investigation of current and classical problems in sensory psychology and perception.
