All courses are offered on-site in the evenings at the Washington, DC Center of the Johns Hopkins University (near Dupont Circle) and online.

In addition to the materials and credentials required for all programs, the Master of Science in Applied Economics also requires:.

A grade in a higher level course trumps a grade in a lower level course. A B grade or higher upon repeat is not acceptable.

The course does not count toward the degree. In order to waive the Math Methods for Economists course, evidence of multivariable calculus is required.

A doctoral program focused on measurement and evaluation that trains students to create new research methodologies and design empirical data analyses.

#1Penn GSE is ranked #1 Graduate School of Education by U.S. News World Report.

Penn proudly houses the IES Predoctoral Training Program, a multi-year opportunity for current Ph.D. students offering both financial and skill-building support.

Rigorous coursework across the field of education will prepare students with the tools needed to conduct cutting-edge research and assessment.

20 courses (12 chosen from required competency areas and 4 electives).

Graduates will be prepared to design first-rate empirical research and data analyses, and to contribute to development of new research methodologies. Students who apply directly to the doctoral-level study program following a baccalaureate degree will enroll in the core courses described for the M.S.Ed. degree in Statistics, Measurement, Assessment, and Technology (SMART) and the advanced courses for the Ph.D. degree. This will include the development of independent empirical research projects.

Doctoral degree studies include advanced graduate coursework, a research apprenticeship, a Ph.D. Candidacy Examination, and the completion of a doctoral dissertation that represents an independent and significant contribution to knowledge.

Research Analyst, Penn Child Research Center, University of Pennsylvania.

All Ph.D. students are guaranteed a full scholarship for their first four years of study, as well as a stipend and student health insurance. Penn GSE is committed to making your graduate education affordable, and we offer generous scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships.

The Penn Child Research Center promotes the educational and psychological well-being of children through the application of informed social and scientific policy.

MECH_ENG 367: Quantitative Methods in Life Cycle Analysis (ChBE 367).

Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) is of growing importance in research, policy, marketing, and technology development. Have you ever wondered :.

In this course, you will master LCA methods, data sources, and results interpretation and conduct an LCA as a course project.

This course is designed as a practical introduction to conducting behavioral research, with a special emphasis on experiments. In the class, we introduce the PhD students to (i) the research designs and approaches behavioral researchers utilize most frequently in their careers, (ii) explore collect data, (iii) work through the analyses that most modern experimental researchers will need to be fluent with, and (iv) examine best practices in reviewing and writing papers. The intent of the course is to get behavioral researchers up and running as quickly as possible in their graduate careers.

Students in the QM doctoral program develop expertise in the principles of research design and in the theoretical foundations and application of advanced statistical models for human behavior.

The QM program is housed within the Psychology and Human Development at Peabody College--a top-ten ranked school of education for the past ten years. This unique context exposes QM students to a variety of applications, methods, and statistical problems that arise in psychological and educational research, as well as the social sciences generally.

These courses are attended by students from a variety of social science disciplines, as well as by QM students. QM students are encouraged to tailor their curriculum to maximize relevancy for their particular research interests, background, and career goals. QM course offerings include correlation and regression analysis of variance psychological and educational measurement data science methods multivariate analysis psychological, field, and clinical research methods item response theory (basic and advanced) exploratory graphical data analysis structural equation modeling factor analysis latent growth curve modeling categorical data analysis multilevel modeling mixture modeling nonparametric statistics individual differences causal analysis in field experiments and quasi-experiments network analysis statistical consulting and meta-analysis. Additionally, many of our students get an optional Minor in Biostatistics. Students may also take courses in Scientific Computing, and or other areas of psychology and education. Several research centers on campus also provide QM students with training opportunities. Also, the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center maintains a statistics and methodology core which provides a methodology lecture series as well as statistical consulting training and resources.

There are also computing labs in the department and elsewhere in Peabody College that are supplied with statistical software often used for classroom teaching. Special funds for research-related software and computing equipment, as well as external workshop and conference travel, are available to QM students.

The American Psychological Association reports that there are far jobs for doctoral students trained in quantitative methods in psychology than there are applicants. Further information can be found here, here, and here.

The QM program is designed to lead to a Ph.D. degree within 5 years. To build students' oral presentation skills, students present their research to the program on a yearly basis. Students who did not enter with a full year of calculus also complete such coursework in the Mathematics Department during this time. Students take an exam in their third or fourth year that is based on reading lists related to content in courses they have taken up until that point.

Doctoral applicants admitted to the QM program receive a guaranteed 5 years of stipend and tuition support, which usually takes the form of a combination of research assistantships and or teaching assistantships in quantitative courses (for instance, the introductory graduate statistics sequence). Additionally, QM students have a successful track record of obtaining prestigious NSF fellowships. Senior students routinely also may obtain other kinds of stipends as statistical analysts or consultants for various research projects and grants on campus these opportunities serve as valuable supplementary training experiences. Application instructions are available here.

In Spring 2014, the QM program launched a terminal M.Ed. in Quantitative Methods. This program is distinct from our longstanding research-focused Ph.D. program. information the goals and expectations for applicants to our M.Ed. program can be found here.

Doctoral students outside the QM program may elect to minor in quantitative methods. This formal minor involves taking four advanced methods courses from the QM program beyond the first year required graduate statistics sequence (6 courses total). The minor provides students with exceptional training in the application of complex psyc tric and statistical procedures and provides students with skills that can enhance the quality of their research program over the course of their career. Many students find that the credential of a graduate minor in quantitative methods is a valuable asset in the pursuit of research-oriented academic positions or quantitatively-oriented industry positions after graduation. Detailed information on minor requirements can be obtained from the Psychological Sciences graduate student handbook.

The QM program offers a weekly Quantitative Methods Colloquium Series which covers novel methodological advances, cutting-edge applications of quantitative methods, inclusivity in QM, teaching pedagogy in QM, QM professional development activities, QM outreach, and QM workshops. The QM colloquium series features a mix of external speakers from different settings (e.g., academia and industry) and different stages of their careers in order to expose our QM students to a variety of career paths and perspectives.
