Human Factors & Applied Cognition
George Mason University
PhD in Applied Cognition
The Ph.D. program in Human Factors & Applied Cognition at George Mason
trains students in the theory and application of cognitive science to
"real-world" problems. Students develop expertise in such areas as
Human-Computer Interaction, Transportation, Cognitive System Engineering,
Cognitive Ergonomics, Artificial Intelligence, Process Control, Psychology
of Science, and Computational Cognitive Modeling. The program is one of a
few in the world that specialize in applied cognition. We offer a variety
of options for supporting doctoral students throughout their tenure at
George Mason including research assistantships and field placements in
government and industry labs. Our graduates, both at the masters and
doctoral levels, have had great success in obtaining positions with
prominent companies. (Deadline: January 15th)
MA in Psychology with a specialization in Human Factors & Applied Cognition
Students in our MA program can elect to focus on either professional
training or preparation for doctoral programs. The professional training
track emphasizes coursework and practical experience; the doctoral
preparation track involves students in ongoing research projects. Both
tracks stress the analytic and empirical methodologies that are used in all
phases of interactive systems design. (Deadline: March 15th)
For Engineers & Computer Scientists: We welcome applications from people
with bachelors- or masters-level training in engineering and computer
science. Many Human Factors and Applied Cognitive professionals work
closely with engineers and computer scientists, so a solid technical
background is a great advantage. Admissions criteria regarding
undergraduate psychology courses may be waived or modified on a
case-by-case basis.
