About the Program
Mastery of complex and advanced quantitative methods (e.g., hierarchical linear modeling, structural equation modeling, item response theory) is increasingly required for employment in testing agencies; for and not-for profit research centers; school district assessment offices, universities, and colleges; and state, federal and international government agencies.
The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Quantitative Research Methods in education should provide graduate students and other professionals the background and training for careers in research and assessment, particularly in education and other (science, social science, and heath) disciplinary areas with educative aims.
