Student Research Opportunities

Undergraduate students have the opportunity to work as research assistants for HDFS field experience (HDFS 496) at NDSU. The lab counts as field experience in both the Human Development and Family Science major and Gerontology major. Any students majoring in Human Development & Family Science, Psychology, Sociology, or any other health-related fields also have the opportunity to volunteer in the lab. This provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable research experience, which is particularly helpful if one chooses to pursue graduate school! Talk with your advisor about options for working in the Linked Lives Research Lab!
