There are about 150 graduate students in the department. Research grants make it possible for additional students to attend. These can range from being a lab instructor for an Introduction to Psychology class, teaching your own psychology class, and being a grading assistant for a professor in the department. There are also other unique jobs, such as being the Graduate Liaison for prospective graduate students. You can also take a class on effective teaching offered by the university.
Students have the greatest possible freedom in changing advisors.
There are no formal meetings for graduate students but students can meet informally, and there are research teams. We very much welcome visits from prospective graduate students. The expectation is that the graduate student is the first author if a MA is published and the only author if a Ph.D. is published.
