The Psychology and Human Factors Graduate program supports and ensures each graduate student receives the individual guidance needed to achieve their academic goals.
Program Director and Assistant
If you feel your advising needs are not being fully met, we encourage you to speak with the Graduate Director before pursuing a change in advisor. Maintaining open communication can often help address concerns early and support a productive advising relationship.

Research
To help expedite degree completion, a student should ideally begin conducting degree research with a faculty research advisor no later than during the senior year. Each student will work with a faculty research advisor who is a member of the Department of Psychology and Human Factors graduate faculty. The advisor’s primary responsibility is to supervise the student’s research and academic and professional growth, as well as to work with the student to develop an academic plan for enrolling in the appropriate courses.
