RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS

GENERAL

Each student is expected to be involved in programmatic research throughout his/her residency at Georgia Tech. Initially, this research involvement will be closely directed by a member of the faculty. As the student's graduate career progresses, he/she will be expected to develop and carry out an individual program of research. A broad outline of research requirements within the School of Psychology is presented below. These are the minimal research requirements. More specific requirements may be made by each individual program or by a student's advisor. Each student should discuss research requirements and opportunities with his/her advisor as early as possible after beginning the graduate program.

Research Credit Hours: Students are expected to enroll for a minimum of three research credit hours during each full- time semester of their tenure at Georgia Tech. These credits may be thesis hours or independent study hours. Students are responsible for ensuring that their course load and other professional duties will not inhibit execution of their research responsibilities.
