Human Factors and Systems Degree

Human Factors students learn about human ability and frailties

Study Human Factors while helping with research aimed at improving safety across many industries.

As machines and systems become more automated, our role as users is becoming more passive. This can be a problem, because we humans need to be active and involved.

The department of Human Factors and Systems offers graduate instruction leading to the Master of Science degree in Human Factors and Systems with distinct tracks in:

• Human Factors
• Systems

These programs are designed to meet the highest academic rigors (i.e., fully prepared for doctoral- level studies), while at the same time preparing the students for immediate employment in real world, cost-sensitive, and operationally-driven aviation/aerospace environments.

In the Master’s degree program in Human Factors and Systems, you’ll learn to incorporate human capabilities and limitations into the design of systems ranging from simple tools and devices to complex workplaces.
