Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Independent research may be carried out by students as part of their regular course of study under the rubric of Linguistics 85 or Cognitive Science 85. Interested students should approach individual faculty members to serve as advisors for such projects, though the projects must be approved by the Steering Committee of the Program in Linguistics and Cognitive Science.

In addition, faculty members regularly make available a number of research opportunities for undergraduate students. The nature of these opportunities is highly variable. Some are for single terms, while other require two terms or more. Some are available to any interested student, while others are only open to majors in the program. Some are strictly extra-curricular, while others may include the possibility of receiving academic credit. The follow links provide additional information on commonly available research opportunities.
