Michigan Technological University’s PhD program in Applied Cognitive Science and Human Factors provides a strong scientific basis in human subjects research and the core areas of cognitive science necessary to skillfully undertake research on the interface of human behavior and technological systems. Human Factors is a multi-disciplinary science focusing on the needs of the human in the design of products, work processes, and technology systems in an effort to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. The graduate program is offered by the Department of Cognitive and Learning Sciences. The program integrates the knowledge of human experts (cognitive scientists) and built systems experts (computer scientists and engineers) in an effort to optimize human performance, health, safety, well-being, and/or sustainability. The research-intensive curriculum provides a wide breadth of training for scientist-practitioners, including a core in psychology, research methods and quantitative modeling. Students select an area of specialization in which to focus their elective course work and their research. The doctoral program requires a minimum of 72 credit hours. The MS degree requires a minimum of 32 credits.

One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
As an undergraduate student at Michigan Tech, it’s simple: if you want to do research, you can. Real research—the kind that creates solutions for industry, gets patented (sometimes with your name on it!), or addresses the problems of our modern world. Last year, our undergraduates spent 126,000 hours working on paid research.We’re ranked among the top twenty universities in the US in the proportion of research that’s sponsored by industry. And nearly 25 percent of our invention disclosures include the names of students as inventors. Students also get published in scientific journals, present at national conferences, and interact with scientists and entrepreneurs from around the world.
Graduate programs at Michigan Tech have rigorous academic requirements set by the Graduate School. The links on this page detail these requirements, procedures to complete a graduate degree, and forms required to track your progress. Graduate programs may have additional requirements for students.
