Experimenters post their experiments on the web and Psych 101 students can sign up for these experiments 24 hours a day. In addition, students can be screened through on-line questionnaires so that only a select sample of these potential participants are invited to participate in a specific investigation. There are various things to consider when choosing a graduate school. A potential student should consider whether her or his research interests coincide with those of the faculty. Fortunately, MSU's social and personality psychology interest group is growing to include faculty with many various interests.
Students are welcome to join in on any of their programs of research.
In addition, they are also free to choose their own independent lines of research. In either case, the faculty are very supportive and able to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge in research and statistics. MSU also has a number of distinguished professors offering various courses in statistics.
