B.S. in Human Factors Psychology (PC) to M.S. in Human Factors (WW)

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Human Factors Psychology (BSHFP) degree program at the Prescott College of Arts & Sciences have the opportunity to pursue the Worldwide Master of Science in Human Factors (MSHF) in a combined degree program format.

Upon completing the undergraduate degree requirements, the Bachelor of Science degree in Human Factors Psychology will be conferred, and students will be enrolled in the graduate degree. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of “B” or better must be earned. These credits will count toward the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, provided the student maintains enrollment in the combined program and receives a "B" or better in the courses. Students will be dropped from the program if their GPA falls below 3.0. The BSHFP degree will be conferred upon completion of all bachelor's degree requirements; the MSHF degree will be conferred upon completion of all master's degree requirements.

If the student chooses to leave the program before the completion of the MSHF program and has acquired the minimal hours required for graduation with the B.S. in Human Factors Psychology, any MSHF transition courses used to meet graduation requirements will be noted as undergraduate courses for the purpose of graduation.

Approved Courses for the Combined Program

Students enrolled in the combined option must consult their academic advisor to determine appropriate course selection. The following graduate-level MSHF courses can be taken to satisfy the BSHFP requirements:

• HFCT 606 Human Cognition may be taken in lieu of PSYC 311 Sensation, Perception, and Cognition or PSYC 315 Cognitive Psychology
• Students may substitute six (6) of their specified elective credits with HFCT 612 Human Performance, Limitation, and Error and one HFCT graduate-level course, excluding HFCT 691, HFCT 700A, HFCT 700B or RSCH 650.
