Introduction
Engineering psychology focuses on exploring and understanding the relationship between humans and machines. It’s the science of human behavior and our interactions with the technologies that go into the design and operation of machines, equipment, and more.
An Innovative Engineering Psychology Program
The advanced certificate in engineering psychology will expand your core knowledge of engineering psychology by exploring coursework in cognition, perception, ergonomics, industrial design, and more. The advanced certificate provides you with formal recognition of your knowledge in engineering psychology and establishes a credential for seeking a career in the human factors or ergonomics fields. Students enrolled in the MS degree in experimental psychology may be awarded the advanced certificate by taking the certificate's required courses as part of their master's program.
What is a Graduate Certificate?
A graduate certificate also called an advanced certificate, is a selection of up to five graduate-level courses in a particular area of study. It can serve as a stand-alone credential that provides expertise in a specific topic that enhances your professional knowledge base, or it can serve as the entry point to a master's degree. Some students complete an advanced certificate and apply for those credits hours later toward a master's degree.
