Research is the
capstone of each psychology major's experience at Knox. During the
senior year, each individual student conducts his or her own research
project in an area of personal interest. The project culminates with an
extensive research paper and a public presentation of the work in
either a poster session or an oral presentation. Each year, Knox
psychology students present their work outside of Knox to audiences at
conferences devoted to undergraduate research such as ILLOWA,
a conference
for
students at colleges and universities in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri,
and the National Conference of Undergraduate Research. The quality of
Knox student research is so high that it is frequently published in
peer-reviewed journals or
presented at professional conferences usually reserved for PhD level
psychologists and graduate students.
