Nature of Research/Program Description: 

The Advanced Research course allows you to work as an undergraduate research assistant in current faculty research projects. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your research skills and to work with faculty personally. If you are interested in a research career or planning to go to graduate school, we recommend that you take advantage of this course. Try to become involved in a professor's research by your junior year. There are three areas of research available:

  • 194B: Advanced Cognitive Research
  • 194C: Advanced Social Research

These courses are not sequential. Each is 5 credits and may be repeated for credit. Students petition every quarter for credit. To view current 194 research postings click https://psychology.ucsc.edu/undergraduate/educational-opportunities/194-openings.html.
