Research

An undergraduate has a number of opportunities to become involved with the research process. Students are introduced to research during the Experimental Methods course and the application of research methodology is covered in every class, which provides you with a thorough introduction to the research process.

Further research opportunities exist in assisting faculty with their ongoing research areas. The list below gives you an overview of research interests in the Concordia College Psychology Department.

Feel free to ask these faculty if they need assistance. Some may already have enough student help, but they may be able to assist you in finding another faculty person.

After working with a faculty member's research, you may be interested in conducting your own research under the guidance of a faculty advisor or by taking the Senior Seminar class, which focuses on students completing their own research work. These can be as extensive as you desire, but any project allows you to develop your methodological skills. These projects can be published in a number of locations, including journals devoted to undergraduate research, or presented at the Minnesota State Undergraduate Conference, the Red River Valley Undergraduate Conference, the Midwestern Psychological Association meeting in Chicago, or even the national convention of the American Psychological Association.
