INTENT
The masters degree program in Learning and Cognition is designed for students and professionals who are involved with learning, cognition, development, and group processes in a variety of contexts, such as the classroom at any level (including adults), the military, government, private enterprise, the courts, and other organizational settings. Our program is sponsored and administered by the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems (College of Education) at Florida State University. We draw on the internationally recognized resources of the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems, the College of Education, the Learning Systems Institute, and Florida State University, designated a Research I University by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
For example, you may be a teacher, a supervisor concerned with adult learning processes as a means of developing employees who are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century workplace, or a professional who develops training seminars. An important focus of our program is on developing the reflective practitioner, someone who critically assesses their own practices by acquiring the knowledge of how to study learning and behavior systematically. You will find that our program is highly individualized, and provides you with the opportunity to select the schedule of courses that meet your needs. With a carefully planned program, you may also earn a Certificate in Measurement and Statistics and/or in Human Resource Development.
Our students come
from many different backgrounds and thrive in the diversity in our program.

SOME RECENT MASTER'S THESIS TOPICS
Although our department name changed from
Educational Research to Educational Psychology and Learning Systems through
our 2003 merger with Psychological Services in Education, the Learning
and Cognition major requirements are the same. The merger expands our faculty
and options available to our students. For example, many students can now
take courses in counselling or school psychology because these programs
are now part of the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems.
