Information for Students

Undergraduate Students
Each semester, Dr. Kenneth Rubin offers a lab class for undergraduate students to gain internship experience in child development research.

Specifically, students will participate in the data collection and coding phases of several different projects, including the NIMH Study of Friendships and Transitions and the NICHD Study of Traumatic Brain Injury. In addition to their data collection and coding experiences, all students in their senior year will be required to complete a thesis research project. Although not all students in the course will be in an honors program requiring a thesis, it is nevertheless a Laboratory requirement that each intern write a thesis proposal and a thesis prior to graduation. Thus, it is important for all undergraduates to commit to being in the lab for at least one academic year; it is more reasonable to suggest that their first year of laboratory experience is during their sophomore or junior year of undergraduate study.
