Description:

This program affords an opportunity for the advanced psychology student to pursue supervised projects of his or her own choosing beyond the regular course offerings. The project may take on one of two forms: the scholarly treatment of a particular topic using the library or laboratory research. Both types can be done in various combinations, on or off campus. To be eligible for the course the student must have a faculty sponsor, a specific topic in mind, a reasonable background in related course work, good independent study habits, initiative and high motivation. If the proposed research involves data collection, prerequisites are Psychology 200 and 390. Special Studies credit requires departmental approval of a formal proposal to be submitted prior to registration. The number of credits and whether the course is taken for a grade or on a pass-fail basis are subject to departmental approval. The course may be repeated but no more than four credits in this course may be applied to the psychology minor requirement of 18 credits. Credits to be Arranged Staff Both Semesters and Summer
