  • Overview of Undergraduate Research Opportunities
    By the end of the junior year, students are generally prepared to undertake an independent research project of original design under the supervision of a professor. This may take the form of a senior honors thesis. Before reaching that point, however, many students prefer to have had experience working on a research project designed by another. Information on departmental research opportunities will be posted on the Undergraduate Bulletin Board at the beginning of the semester or you may have them emailed to you. Generally Psychology 199 course credit is available. Over 200 students a semester are enrolled in research course work.

    Summer Research and Field work
    Research and field work opportunities are available during the summer months at Berkeley and other institutions. Several universities have special research programs in psychology for junior and senior psychology majors. Recent examples have included research in language acquisition at Clark University and cognition and communication in marine mammals at the University of Hawaii. Check the bulletin boards outside the Student Services Office beginning in March through May for information on these programs.
