One of the real strengths of our program is the opportunity for students to work closely with faculty on scholarly research.  All of our full-time faculty are active researchers and provide opportunities for students to work on faculty-directed projects or to develop their own ideas. 

Research oriented courses are an integral part of our curriculum and there are ample opportunities for students to pursue independent research.  As you can see by the long list of presentations and publications linked to this page, these collaborative endeavors are quite successful in producing quality research.  Our students have presented at professional conferences and at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research.  Another presentation opportunity for Psychology students is the MCLA Undergraduate Research Conference in which many Psychology majors present their work every year.

Don't hesitate to contact a faculty member to learn more about their research or to ask about getting involved in a lab!
