The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Nebraska/Lincoln Law and Psychology Program a grant to house and train undergraduate psychology students interested in psychology and law.
This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program brings 8 to 10 undergraduate students to UNL to study law and psychology for an academic year. Undergraduate students are provided with room and board, along with a stipend for working in UNL law and psychology research laboratories. They spend time working with UNL joint law and psychology doctoral (JD/ Ph.D and MLS/Ph.D.) students. The University of Nebraska/Lincoln faculty mentors these undergraduate students, helping them gain valuable experience to assist in preparing them for graduate school in psychology. As you can see from the UNL website (address provided below), in the last five years, REU students have had a rewarding academic experience at UNL as shown by some of their comments. This year UNL accepted 10 new students as their fifth class and they all finished the fall semester and are going on to the spring semester. Next year UNL will accept their sixth class of REU students beginning in summer of 2010. The website describes the program in detail. The program description and application materials are available on the following website:

UNL will begin selecting REU students on March 1, 2010. UNL will continue accepting applications until all slots are filled. Students who apply early will have an advantage in this competitive selection process.
