Educational Psychology Research MinorEducational Psychology
College of Education and Human Development
The Educational Psychology Research Minor is unique from other minors at the University in that students would take their coursework in a very specific and meaningful sequence. Students will gain an understanding basic research methodologies, utilizing the library system, and how to connect with faculty researchers culminating in creating a Faculty Directed Research contract that spans two semesters. In addition, students will learn statistical methods that will aid in understanding various statistical analyses encountered in both the research experience and in the literature. As students continue in their research experience, they expand their knowledge around research methodology in practice. This course would also include topics around connecting research to practice culminating in a presentation at the Undergraduate Research Symposium. The Educational Psychology Research Minor has two courses designated as honors courses, but is not exclusive to honors students. The minor is open to any undergraduate student in the university.
Students may combine the Educational Psychology Research Minor with any other major or minor.
