ERAU – WW
Master of Science in Human Factors
(MSHF) Degree Program
Clint R. ‘Clutch’ Balog, Ph.D.
Focus - Difference
19
Traditional graduate HF programs focus on one particular
specialization on HF such as ergonomics or systems design.
The ERAU WW MSHF will first provide a foundational
understanding of the core HF field of human performance,
then allow for the selection of either a more general
Aerospace (Operations) or Systems Engineering
(Design/Development) subfields to which that human
performance knowledge will be applied in practical terms.

Goal
21
Develop graduates qualified to enter the human factors field,
able to support the changing needs of industries requiring
improved operational efficiency, effectiveness, and safety
stemming from significant growth and technological
advancement, by identifying applications of theory,
cultivating innovation, providing leadership, and solving
challenges associated with human factors principles (get
ahead of growing industry HF needs).
Target Learners
22
• Academic scholars and subject matter experts from
industry, government, and military who, more often
than not, have a career but are unable to attend a
Master’s degree program in a typical residential
environment.
• Recent undergraduates who want to continue to
expand their academic understanding before moving
into industry.
