Overview

Students in our Psychology - Human Factors/Applied Cognition M.A program specialization at George Mason University can elect to focus on either professional training or preparation for a doctoral program.

Both tracks stress the analytic and empirical methodologies that are used in all phases of interactive systems design (where this is broadly defined to include any human-machine system).

The power and interpretation of these techniques reside in their close ties to cognitive theory.

Job Prospects

Job prospects for our MA graduates are very rosy. All of our graduates have been employed within 2 months of graduation.

Some of our students' internships have turned into job offers so that they were employed prior to leaving the program.
