Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Psychology

Description:

This course is intended for students that wish to pursue one or a combination of learning activities in order to further their studies and goals in the major. Three options are available: (1) Students can gain in-depth study of a particular research topic or area of the field by developing an intensive plan of study, through readings and a literature review, of a particular research topic that is of interest, and, that isn't offered as part of the undergraduate curriculum; (2) Serve as an undergraduate Research Assistant (RA) on a faculty supervised project; and/or (3) Serve as a Course Assistant, aiding a faculty member with the teaching or other instructional aspects of a course. Each option requires faculty advisor, department, and dean approval, and the student must outline a list of learning outcomes, responsibilities, and a timeline for completing all required work for the experience. Depending on which option is pursued, students are required to write a substantial research paper or present other evidence of what was accomplished and learned from the experience (e.g., participating in a poster session or presentation as part of the annual Westminster Undergraduate Research Fair, presenting at a regional or national conference or other professional event). A maximum of 5 credit hours can be earned to fulfill elective requirements of the major.
