ACCESS PATH TO PSYCHOLOGY AND LAW EXPERIENCE (AP) PROGRAM

AP is designed to encourage faculty members to recruit students from underrepresented groups into their research labs. It provides financial support for the students to obtain meaningful research experience and attend the AP-LS conference, as well as other opportunities for mentoring and development. It is the intention of the Minority Affairs Committee (MAC) that many of the students in the AP program will apply for graduate training related to psychology and law and ultimately become professionals in the field.
