Colorado State University offers cognitive psychology as one of its five doctoral programs in the Department of Psychology, maintaining a strong focus on this dynamic field. The program aims to cultivate exceptional researchers and scholars in the science of human cognition while sustaining national recognition. Faculty research explores diverse subjects, particularly human learning, memory, perception, and performance, with some specializing in cognitive aging. To ensure personalized graduate training, the program maintains a low student-to-faculty ratio (typically 2-3 students per professor), fostering close mentorship and regular interactions among students and faculty. Additionally, the program leverages the extensive resources of a top-tier Carnegie Foundation research institution, providing interdisciplinary opportunities with departments like Computer Science, Engineering, and Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Neurosciences.
