Research Experience
Research experience is an excellent way to get acquainted with the field of
psychology and to explore what areas interest you. Research is wonderful to
include on a resume, as well as applications to graduate school. Below is a list
of CMU professors and their research interests. If you are looking to get
involved, to complete directed research, or even to have an independent study to
learn more about the topics that interest you, contact a professor and inquire
about PSY 496, PSY 497, or joining a research team! Professors' office hours are
located outside of the Psychology Department Office in Sloan Hall.
