Psychology 429
The experimental psychology specialization reflects our commitment to provide students with a generalized background in experimental psychology while allowing them to concentrate in areas of study adequately represented among the faculty. These areas currently include industrial/organizational psychology, primate behavior, educational psychology, and animal behavior. It may also be possible to develop curricular tracks in other areas of psychology and/or interdisciplinary programs; however, to be sure that a curriculum can be developed that meets the student’s needs, it should be planned in consultation with a faculty advisor prior to enrollment in the program.
Upon enrolling, students will meet with their faculty advisors to discuss objectives and to establish a research plan. Collaborative research is encouraged, beginning with a first-year research project developed in conjunction with the advisor. This research project may lead to the student’s master’s thesis in the second year.
Prerequisites: PSY 301, 362, 363, 461 (or approved equivalents). Prerequisite courses may be taken concurrently with certain program courses.
