- Description
- The experimental psychology MS degree allows you to contribute meaningful work to multiple fields of psychology while you explore and apply scientific methods to human development, social interactions, and behavioral relationships. Tailored to your career aspirations, this degree includes core courses, elective courses, and a thesis. It offers two tracks to choose from: experimental psychology and engineering psychology. The experimental psychology track embraces the application of the scientific method to the study of behavior in a variety of fields including addiction, attention, cognition, development, evolutionary psychology, forensic psychology, perception, psychopathology, and social psychology, among others. The engineering psychology track examines human capabilities to sense, perceive, store, and process information and reveals how these human factors impact interactions with technology. Courses emphasize the role of human behavior and performance in both simple and complex human-machine systems. You will be trained in both research methods of experimental psychology and the application of the results to contemporary problems in industry. For both tracks you will choose either a capstone project or a thesis. Students who select the capstone project will embark on a range of projects to demonstrate their ability to apply acquired knowledge in various assignments. For the thesis, students select a thesis advisor in the first year, followed in the second year by a thesis topic and a subsequent research proposal.
