Getting involved in a faculty-led research project is a great way for students to learn about how research happens in the social sciences, develop coding, computational, and other skills, and build relationships with their professors and other student team members. Undergraduate students interested in working on a faculty-led project can apply to take PS 292 (Undergraduate Research Practicum) and/or PS 492 (Undergraduate Research Assistance) with a faculty member.
