Students enrolled in classes in the Department of Communication may have opportunities to participate in research studies. Students can learn about the research process and often also obtain extra credit, if allowed so by course instructors. Students interested in participating in communication research should consult with their course instructors.

One way students can participate in research and obtain course extra credit is by registering for the Department of Communication Research Participant Pool. Information about the Participant Pool for students, instructors, and researchers is below.
