Quantitative Research Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Quantitative Educational Research places an emphasis on acquiring the skills necessary not only to complete statistical calculations but to also know how and when to apply and use appropriate calculations. This 15 credit-hour certificate prepares students from various disciplines to conduct research that documents the effects of educational programs. The courses required for the completion of this certificate are advanced educational research/statistics courses. Students will gain significant and valuable knowledge and skills beyond what is required for typical degree requirements. Although this certificate is housed in the College of Education, students from all disciplines are welcome to apply.

The primary mission of the Educational Research Program is to offer a quality graduate program that prepares scholars to critically engage with educational research and evaluation, to develop appropriate and innovative research design, and to contribute conceptually sound analyses to the research problems of the field.

Requirements for the Graduate School (Degree Requirements) and the College of Education (Master’s, Professional Certification, EdS, Doctoral) are detailed in earlier sections of this catalog. For specific program requirements visit the College of Education Programs website or for a student handbook and additional information, email or call the Educational Studies department office whose staff can direct you to the certificate coordinator(s).
