There are many opportunities for Tufts graduates of the Engineering Psychology program. Two good places to begin looking are the HFES bulletin board and on this website, here. Posted there are current job openings. Also Professor Soraci and Professor Kreifeldt may be aware of any job opportunities or contacts.
The Annual HFES Directory is a good way to find out which companies offer positions in Human Factors. There is a section listing the names of employees in companies who are members of the National HFES. Also, the annual meeting is a good place to make contacts with Human Factors professionals and there is a job placement center at each meeting. The HFES also operates a Human Factors placement service. There is information about it on the HFES home page. The student fee to join the service is $15.
The National HFES publishes their list of graduate programs in Human Factors throughout the United States. Call or write to the National Chapter to obtain a copy. Students wishing to study toward a Masters Degree in Human Factors following graduation from Tufts should make sure that the program they enroll in goes beyond the course work already completed at Tufts. Since our undergraduate major is very rigorous, some Masters and Ph.D. curricula are not appropriate for graduates from our program. Engineering Psychology can also serve as preparation for Law, Business, Architecture, or Medical schools.
If you have any further questions about the major, please see our Contact List.
