Goals, objectives, and emphasis of the program
|
The focus of the program is general-experimental with areas of focus available in cognitive, social, developmental, applied (human factors and industrial/organizational), and biopsychology. This program is primarily directed toward the student whose goal is the continuation of scholarly study, research, or writing. The end goal is to produce high-quality students according to the scientist-practitioner model who are well prepared for entry into the workforce or a PhD program. The program is designed for a small number of students who will work in close interaction with individual faculty members and with one another. Although a few structured courses are required of all students, a substantial portion of the student's program focuses on individual readings, research, and thesis. The program stresses interaction with other departments on campus, particularly Industrial and Systems Engineering and Engineering Management, as well as Business.
