Psychology Mentorships

1-on-1 learning and original research projects customized around students' interests

‍

Students interested in people’s thoughts, mental operations, behavior, and performance, should consider a mentorship in psychology. Psychology lies at the intersection of theoretical, applied, and educational science.

A mentorship in psychology allows students to understand behavior, treat mental health issues, and propose improvements in education, employment, and relationships. Projects in psychology can range from exploring the science of persuasion, propaganda, and marketing, to evaluating psychological disorders and their specific treatment modalities, or investigating topics related to cognition, such as false memories or dreaming.
