Interested and qualified psychology majors may apply for participation in the yearlong Emerging Scholars Program.

This opportunity to engage in original research is a great avenue for intellectually curious students. If interested, apply during the spring semester of your sophomore or junior year. A research adviser will be assigned at that time, so you can begin your literature reviews during the summer and start work on the project early in the fall semester.
