You will see how academics, scientists, and other professionals exchange ideas with one another and communicate research findings. As an undergraduate student participating in group faculty research, you will have the opportunity to author or co-author articles and present findings at conferences. This experience is crucial when applying to graduate programs in psychology.

Mercer University provides you with opportunities to complete an independent, original research project as an undergraduate student. Our curriculum is dedicated to developing new knowledge in psychology, and undergraduates enjoy experiential learning opportunities to contribute to the field. These projects hone your skills in research, writing, and critical thinking.
