Lab Hours: 3
Credit Hours: 1

Research Practicum courses are designed to introduce students to the psychological research process by working directly with a faculty mentor pursuing a pre-established research program. This experience provides the opportunity for students to integrate and apply the knowledge they have gained through the accumulation of their academics. Practicum emphasizes scientific observation, analytical techniques, and communication of results. Students need to be able to think critically, work independently, and communicate effectively. Students enrolled in PS 290 will be expected to attend weekly research meetings and complete, on average, 3 hours of lab work a week. Permission of faculty mentor and department head required. This course is repeatable. Prerequisite(s): PS 201 with a minimum grade of C.
