Psychology (PSYC) 4800 is a course for the advanced undergraduate Psychology major who wishes to participate in supervised research. The purpose of PSYC 4800 is to give Psychology majors the opportunity to learn research by doing it. This means becoming familiar with the relevant research literature, understanding and formulating hypotheses, participating in the design of research, collecting, entering, and analyzing data, and writing research reports as well.

    Prerequisites for PSYC 4800 are PSYC 2980, 2990, and at least one other course at the 3000 level or above.  Students may register for only one PSYC 4800 per semester, for a maximum of 3 credit hours (about 8 hours per week).  Students may apply a maximum of 3 credit hours of PSYC 4800 toward Psychology electives. Up to an additional 6 hours of PSYC 4800 may be applied as free electives. Students may not enroll for more than 9 hours total of PSYC 4800.  A 'Satisfactory' or 'Unsatisfactory' will be given as the final evaluation for the students.
