Students work closely with a faculty advisor and other members of the Honors Program. An information meeting about the program is held every Winter quarter. Students interested in the program should involve themselves in research as early as possible and acquire a broad general background in psychology as well as a deep background in their chosen area. They should also take one or more of the laboratory courses offered by the department. Admission Students apply to the program at the end of their Junior year by submitting an application, available from the Undergraduate Coordinator, along with a transcript to the Senior Honors coordinator.
Notification comes prior to the Senior year.
Those students who are currently minoring in Psychology may also apply to the honors program. Although if there is a limit to how many students will be accepted to the program, priority will be given to those whose major is in Psychology. Overview Autumn quarter is devoted to hearing about student's research and giving the students feedback on their ideas. The seminar meets weekly and includes an oral presentation of your research ideas and a written thesis proposal. At this time the student meets regularly with their research sponsor, reads background material, and plans their research.
