The department offers undergraduate and graduate research methods courses and graduate research assistantships. Opportunities to participate in the research process are also available in the UNR Center for Applied Research. While faculty often include students in their service efforts, these opportunities are optimal for the student. At the community level, faculty service ranges from serving in leadership roles in local agencies and state boards to participating in international activities. The extent of community contributions varies from faculty to faculty, but the requests for faculty expertise and assistance are repeated and many.
Faculty are also very involved with a substantial number of professional organizations.
They serve as officers, committee members, editors, reviewers, mostly at the national and international levels, but also at the regional and local levels. Most faculty are affiliated with more than one professional group, which reflects their commitment to professional development and networking.
