Ed.M. in Educational Statistics, Measurement, & Evaluation

Students enrolled in the Educational Statistics, Measurement and Evaluation Ed.M. program will take foundational and advanced statistics courses and deepen their knowledge and ability to think critically about quantitative research methods and statistical modeling, psychometric theory, and education program evaluation. Depending on their chosen track, students may delve deeper into topics including applied multivariate analysis, causal modeling, and item response theory. The program is individually tailored to each student’s needs and encourages students to pursue a minor outside of the specialty as well. Students will take one elective course and at least two courses within the Department of Educational Psychology to do so and complete the program. Topics may include special or gifted education, educational psychology, counseling psychology, college student affairs, and learning, cognition, and development.
