Undergraduate Students

Please note that Dr. Wiebe is not accepting new undergraduate research students until Spring/Summer 2026.

The Psychology Honors program offers students an excellent opportunity to gain experience in a lab setting and conduct a research project culminating in a thesis. Honors students work closely with their faculty mentors throughout their third and fourth years, and receive strong preparation for graduate or professional school through labwork and honors seminars. If you are interested in the Honors program and wish to work in the ABCD Lab, you should contact Dr. Wiebe to talk about your research interests and meet with an honors advisor to discuss program requirements and prerequisites in your second year. To be admitted to the Honors program and continue as an Honors student, you must meet a fairly extensive list of requirements, including required Psychology courses, while maintaining a minimum GPA. 

In Neuroscience, Honors students carry out a thesis or directed readings/research with faculty mentors in their fourth year. If you are a Neuroscience Honors student and are interested in working in the ABCD Lab, please contact Dr. Wiebe. to talk about your research interests in your third year at the latest.

Students interested in developmental cognitive neuroscience also have the option to volunteer in the lab for course credit, potentially working toward a Research Certificate in Psychology. Students in their second year (especially students considering the Honors program) can complete PSYCH 299 (Research Opportunity), a 1.5-credit course that simply involves hands-on research experience. Students in their third or fourth year can complete PSYCH 396/398 or PSYCH 496/498 (Directed Research), 3-credit courses that involves hands-on research as well as a term paper.
