Students are required
to complete a research project during their senior year at Monmouth College. The topic is
self-selected, and students receive guidance and feedback from the faculty
and fellow students.
While a research
project is not required until the senior year, some students become
interested in research at an earlier stage in their career and that is also
encouraged.
When possible,
research is submitted for publication at conferences or in
journals. All seniors are encouraged to present their research at ILLOWA. Some
students have also had research presented at MPA. ILLOWA is a regional undergraduate Psychology
conference held annually, and MPA (Midwestern Psychological Association) is
an annual professional conference held in Chicago. In addition to these
conferences, students also present their research to the Monmouth College
community at the annual Senior Science Poster Session, held near the end of
Spring semester.
