Students majoring in psychology learn to use Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software to analyze data in a Research Methods course and further their research experience by taking Advanced Research Methods. During this course, students hone their teamwork skills by applying knowledge from previous classes and conducting an empirical study grounded in current research literature. The culmination of the project is a formal written paper and an oral presentation. Students who desire further statistics and data analysis training may take Advanced Statistics.
