ELRT
Evaluation, Measurement & Research
Program Offerings
Coursework in the M.A. program requires basic courses in research methods, evaluation, measurement, and statistics as well as in practical field experience.
Coursework in the Ph.D.
program requires at least three courses each in
evaluation, measurement, and research design and statistics.
Other coursework includes qualitative research methods,
foundations of inquiry, and a 27-credit hour emphasis in
some applied area of inquiry. Some examples of a cognate
are policy studies, assessment, computer applications,
or statistics. In addition to the coursework, an internship
provides each student with an opportunity to work under
the direction of a senior evaluator, measurement specialist,
or researcher. Often students will co-author articles developed
with their internship mentor. Students in these programs
are encouraged to submit proposals for presentations at
professional state and national conferences, and to attend
such conferences. A student may enter the doctorate program
after completing a master's degree in a related field such
as research methods, or directly upon completion of a bachelor's
degree.
