The Honors Psychology Program isÌýa two-year program of study that begins with a yearlong investigation of methodology, critical thinking and writing. In the second year, the program culminates in the production of a senior thesis that is presented at the student poster session. Each semester, the honorsÌýclass explores a new topic in depth. Student-led discussions complement traditional lectures, encouraging students to engage fully with the course content.

The main goals of the Honors Psychology Program are to

• help students form anÌýintegrated panoramic view of the field of psychology, from its historical roots to current perspectives;
• provide students with a foundation in scientific methodology that they can incorporate into their senior thesis; and
• encourage students to grapple with key theoretical and research ideas related to their particular interest.

, and explore undergraduate research opportunities in theÌýDepartment of Psychology and Neuroscience.
