Overview

The graduate programs in Research Methods, Measurement, and Evaluation (RMME) lead to an M.A. or Ph.D. degree in Educational Psychology, with an area of concentration in Research Methods, Measurement, and Evaluation.  These programs are designed for professionals who wish to develop expertise in quantitative research methodology, psychometrics, educational measurement, and/or program evaluation. We also offer a Graduate Certificate in Program Evaluation. Our graduates work in a variety of settings including research and/or evaluation consulting firms across disciplines, federal/state/local government agencies, testing companies, higher education agencies, and more.

The 100% online Master’s Program is designed for professionals seeking to become more knowledgeable about research methods, measurement, and evaluation. Further, it is an ideal graduate degree for recent bachelor’s graduates who have entered (or plan to enter) the workforce, who are interested in developing expertise in research methods, quantitative analysis, measurement, and program evaluation. It also offers maximum flexibility to working professionals looking to brush up on their research, data analysis, and evaluation skills to improve upward mobility in their current careers or facilitate a future career or employment change.

The campus-based Master’s program emphasizes the application of quantitative research methods, measurement and evaluation theory and procedures.  We encourage students to supplement their RMME coursework with courses in other discipline areas that best suit their individual goals and objectives.

The Ph.D. program in Research Methods, Measurement, and Evaluation (also campus-based) integrates theory and practice to promote the scientific uses of measurement and quantitative research methodology within education and the social and behavioral sciences. Coursework focuses on current and emerging topics including instrument development, classical and modern measurement theory and applications, item response theory, latent variable modeling, causal inference, multivariate statistical techniques, and multilevel modeling.
