The MA in Research and Evaluation Methods (REM) degree prepares students to lead in professional practice in the following responsibilities: (1) interpreting, analyzing, and applying research in educational settings; (2) applying knowledge about research methods, statistics, and measurement; and (3) applying inquiry skills and creative thought in solving practice-based problems. Graduates of the program typically work in school district research/assessment departments, state or federal government agencies, research and evaluation firms, non-profit organizations, or companies that have data/research offices.

Students acquire the skills necessary for a variety of roles in educational and teaching settings or community environments where knowledge of learning, development, assessment, and research is essential. Many of our graduates also seek this MA as preparation for advanced study in educational psychology, assessment, research methods, and related fields.
