The doctoral program in Learning and Cognition, established in 1970, is sponsored and administered by the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems (College of Education) at Florida State University. Our program is designed to train research-oriented doctoral students who are conversant with current theory and research, and who are competent in methodological and statistical research skills. Students who complete their doctorates in our program become university faculty, executives in school systems, and independent researchers in military, government, or private industry settings. We offer a unique instructional blend of theoretical perspectives and professional training, and we train students to address researchable problems with direct implications for present and future instruction in the classroom and workplace. Our program draws on the internationally recognized resources of the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems, the College of Education, and Florida State University, designated a Research I University by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Our students come
from many different backgrounds and thrive in the diversity in our program.
CLICK
HERE to see some of our current students.
Our resources include an in-building computer center and library. The Center for Educational Research & Policy Studies is housed in the Stone Building on the West Campus and the large and diverse Learning Systems Institute is a short walk to the south. The Association for Institutional Research has its national headquarters in Tallahassee. This year we are adding a three story wing for more office and classroom space to the Stone Building. The new Florida State University Medical School is across the street as is the new Psychology Building. Our Educational Psychology program is also the center of applied methodological and statistical training on the FSU campus.
And...we are pleased to announce that our Educational Psychology program (incorporating Learning and Cognition and Instructional Systems) was rated 24th nationally for all such graduate programs in U.S. News and World Report in April 2008!
However, we consider the collegial relations among our faculty and graduate students to be our strongest resource. Students and faculty actively collaborate on developing courses and teaching them, consulting with educational systems at all levels, consulting with government, the military, and private industry, and conducting research, presenting the results, and writing for publication. We also offer many opportunties for leadership to graduate students. We invite you to join us!
