Get Involved!

Undergraduate Students

There are three general ways to get involved.

  1. First, you can volunteer in any of our research projects. No formal application is required, just send an email to Dr. Hopkins and he will add you to the lab email list.
  2. Second, you can enroll in the mentored learning experience class (PWS 494R). In this course, you get university credit for your activities in the lab. You will work with Dr. Hopkins and other lab members to develop a project or contribute to an existing project. This course is variable credit, so you can sign up for 0.5 to 6 credit hours. Just count on spending 2-3 hours a week for each credit hour. Email Dr. Hopkins so he can send you the add codes.
  3. Third, you can work for pay. If you have particular skills or needs, you can get hired as a student employee in the lab. Typically, this occurs for students who have done mentored research in the past, but there is some flexibility. Email Dr. Hopkins if you are interested.

Graduate Students

We are always accepting graduate student applications. Before going through any official process, send your CV and letter of intent to Dr. Hopkins. You can find all the application process details on the BYU Graduate Studies website.
