The Methodology, Measurement, and Analysis track in the Education PhD program is designed to prepare methodologists in education, the social sciences, and other human sciences for either the professoriate or practice including diverse quantitative and qualitative areas such as statistical consulting and data analytic fields, psychometrics, and program evaluation.
Four major areas are encompassed in the Methodology, Measurement, and Analysis program: quantitative research, qualitative research, measurement, and program evaluation.
