Resources for Undergraduates in Psychology
A major component of obtaining a degree in Psychology is the completion of courses in research methods and statistics. The first section on this page lists recent quantitative focused offerings from the department. Since such courses can be daunting for students, we are also provide two additional sets of resources: a series of links that can be used to supplement course material, and a list of graduate students from the department who are interested in and available to tutor students.
