Each student entering a Research, Evaluation, Measurement and Statistics (Quantitative Methods) program has a unique set of interests and experiences. Consequently, programs of study are unique. Beyond Department core requirements (see coursework below), students in consultation with their advisor (for the master degree) or advisory committee (for a doctoral degree) are free to design a unique program of study to meet individual career objectives. All master level students, however, are expected to be knowledgeable in research design, univariate statistical methods and qualitative methods. In addition, doctoral students are expected to be knowledgable in multivariate statistical methods and measurement theory.
