M.Ed. in Quantitative Methods at Vanderbilt

The Quantitative Methods program within the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt is delighted to announce a new 2-year program conferring a Masters in Education (M.Ed.) in Quantitative Methods. We are accepting applications this Fall 2014/Spring 2015, to begin Fall semester 2015.

This M.Ed. program provides students with strong quantitative methods training for applied research settings. The program is designed for individuals interested in working in dedicated research institutes, industry, academic settings, medical school research settings, K-12 school systems, and government.

Students in this 32-hour M.Ed. program take two required core courses in quantitative methods, two hours of colloquium seminar activity, and eight additional courses (current offerings include Multivariate Statistics, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), Exploratory/Graphical  Data Analysis, Factor Analysis, Multilevel Modeling, Growth Curve Modeling, Introduction to Item Response Theory (IRT), Advanced IRT, Latent Class and Mixture Modeling, Regression and Correlation, Psychometric Methods, Nonparametric Statistics, and Advanced Topics in SEM).

The M.Ed. program culminates in a summer-long or semester-long internship in which students obtain real-world experience producing data analyses for a public or private organization in Nashville or the broader research community.

The QM area in the Department of Psychology and Human Development is a vibrant program of eight faculty who conduct state-of-the-art research in statistical modeling and measurement. For information about QM faculty, see http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/departments/psych/index.php. Our department is housed within Vanderbilt's Peabody College, the number one ranked school of education nationally for five of the past six years.
