In the M.A. program students examine the cognitive mechanisms that underlie learning and thinking in school and non-school settings. Our program and coursework trains students in basic theories of human cognition, the practice and interpretation of empirical cognitive and developmental research.

The curriculum and program requirements are designed to prepare graduates for careers in several possible settings:

  • School systems seeking instructional technology coordinators and teachers who are knowledgeable about cognitive and developmental theories and research.
  • Publishers and software companies looking for people with knowledge of cognition and development, and experience in instructional design.
  • Research organizations seeking people to conduct basic research and work on instructional applications of computers and related technologies.
