Graduate Students

Dr. Swanson only takes students from the Psychology MS program. She primarily takes PhD students from the Psychology PhD program, but when appropriate, it is possible for students to apply to the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences PhD or the Cognition and Neuroscience program.  Interested students should contact Dr. Swanson directly at meghan.swanson@utdallas.edu.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students work closely with graduate students and research assistants in a collaborative environment. Projects include behavioral coding of videotapes, annotation of audio tapes, and quality control of imaging data. Dr. Swanson is not accepting undergraduate students.

NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) is a yearlong, 42-week paid internship that will provide 10 college students from historically underrepresented groups with the tools and connections to combine high-quality, developmental research with an empirically driven, community-based outreach program. This REU offers a truly unique research experience through the UTD Center for Children and Families (CCF) given (1) a well-established, empirically driven community-based outreach program, Play With Me (Juega Conmigo), which serves young, at-risk children and their parents in North Texas, and which will provide the backbone for engagement in community-based field research and (2) faculty mentors with a strong commitment to undergraduate research training and mentoring the next generation of research scientists. Dr. Swanson serves as an REU mentor. If you are interested in learning more about this program check out this website.
