Overview

Key Features

The graduates go on to productive careers as teachers and researchers in academic settings, or as research scientists and applied cognitive psychologists in business and industry.

A relatively small group of graduate students participate in the Program (typically 2-3 students per faculty member) so as to provide highly individualized graduate education, allow close collaboration with faculty, and promote frequent formal and informal interactions with faculty and peers. At the same time, the Program benefits from the facilities and resources of a large and thriving department at a Carnegie Foundation level-one research institute.

The Cognitive Psychology program from Colorado State University is administered according to a mentorship model. New students are matched with a specific faculty member according to area of interest and by mutual consent of the student and faculty member. The faculty advisor serves as a mentor to the student and, with the student’s advisory committee, guides the student through the Program. All faculty are deeply committed to student mentoring and students are encouraged to collaborate with faculty and students in other laboratories.

General requirements

Admission to the Doctoral Program in Cognitive Psychology is highly competitive. Students with research experience and a strong background in STEM fields are preferred. Students having either a bachelor’s or master’s degree will be considered.
Student’s admitted with a master’s degree must have completed an empirical master’s thesis in order to qualify to be admitted directly to the Ph.D. program.

Students who completed a purely course-based master’s may apply for admission but will be expected to complete a second M.S. degree at CSU.

Students applying to the Doctoral Program in Cognitive Psychology should be firmly committed to the completion of the Ph.D. Although a master’s (M.S.) degree is awarded once all M.S. requirements have been met, it is included only as part of the Doctoral Program.
