Research Training

From the beginning, students in this program will be offered excellent research training. All entering students will be assigned to a research mentor. Masters Students will be active participants in the research mentor’s lab, assisting with data collection, coding, data entry and analyses, and helping to supervise undergraduate research assistants. Masters Students will gradually become more independent in their laboratory work, and at the start of their second year will begin a focused research project (often involving the data collected with the mentor’s lab), to be analyzed and presented at a special research poster session at the end of the second year).
