The Master of Science in Human Factors equips students to address human-centered considerations when designing and developing systems, products, and environments. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's graduate program trains students to prioritize psychological and physiological human factors throughout the creation of systems, products, and workspaces. Learners will integrate psychological theories with cognitive engineering principles to optimize human-machine interactions and address performance challenges.
This specialized Human Factors master's program provides focused education on cognitive processes, safety considerations, and human capabilities/limitations. Students can tailor their degree path by selecting either a thesis or non-thesis track.
