Opportunity for Undergraduate Research Using Virtual Reality
This is an opportunity for a Fall 2025 independent study at 2 or 3 credits (6 or 9 hours per week), depending on the student's availability. The student needs to have completed all the requirements to be eligible for an independent study, including having taken CCJS300: https://ccjs.umd.edu/
The student will be using virtual reality technology to collect information about the behavior of young people when they are with their friends. It's a great opportunity for students who are interested in gaining real research experience in criminology.
Any interested undergraduate students should email Dr. Wade Jacobsen (wcj@umd.edu) with a 200-word statement about why they are interested in the opportunity and how it would help them in their academic and career goals. They should also be prepared to show evidence that they meet the requirements for an independent study. These applications are due by Friday, September 12 at 12pm EST.
Any questions may also be directed to Dr. Jacobsen (wcj@umd.edu).
