Qualitative Research Program Mission and Vision

The mission of the Qualitative Research Program is to foster scholarship in research design and prepare qualitative research methodologists. Graduates from the Interdisciplinary Qualitative Studies Certificate program have the knowledge and skills to design, critique, and implement high quality research and evaluation studies. Our program advances the field of interdisciplinary qualitative research design and methods, such as ethnography, historical methods, ethnomethodological analysis of texts and talk-in-interaction, narrative methods, hermeneutics, case study, poststructural approaches, arts-based inquiry, and participatory action research. We prepare exceptional teachers of theoretically grounded research design for academic positions as well as researchers for other institutions and agencies. We provide coursework and mentoring for students across the university who apply qualitative and multimethods research in their fields.  The program is a center of global outreach for scholarship and pedagogy in qualitative design and evaluation. We aspire to be the foremost center for interdisciplinary qualitative research design in the world.
