Undergraduate Research Experience

Interested in gaining hands-on research experience with a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at East Carolina University? Our faculty is engaged in a variety of active research programs that span a number of specializations, methodologies, populations, and designs. Undergraduate students are encouraged to become a part of this research by assisting faculty with new and ongoing projects—an experience valuable for students who are interesting in learning more about one or more areas of psychology in greater depth, becoming an informed consumer of research, and developing skills and abilities valued by employers and graduate schools. Undergraduate research assistants typically register for supervised course credit in psychology in the semester or session that they are working.
