Undergraduate Research

3 credits

An opportunity to participate in research projects in the laboratory of a faculty member. Students are typically assigned to assist with a specific experiment contributing to the laboratory's overall goals. This is the most typical type of undergraduate research course experience in our department.Students may work with researchers at other area universities and hospitals. The work must be relevant to psychology/neuroscience. While primary supervision of the research will be provided by the laboratory PI, a Boston College Department of Psychology and Neuroscience faculty member must agree to serve as the instructor of record for the course.Students are encouraged to obtain permission of the instructor before they register for their other courses, so that they may keep open the time slot for the laboratory meetings associated with the laboratory. Registration requires the Syllabus/Contract form on the department's Academic Opportunities page.
