Undergraduate and Graduate psychology students are encouraged to participate
in the research activities of the department, whether as research subjects/participants,
student researchers, or members of faculty research teams. This site will
provide regular updates regarding research opportunities for students
in psychology, as well as information about the research activities of
our undergraduates. Central has such a strong research identity, it is
often difficult for students to grasp just how much we do, and how much
fun this can be.
If you want read about more research conducted by faculty and students
at conferences, you may read the giant list!
