Overview

About the program

Students in the Educational Statistics and Research Methods program at the University of Delaware design and conduct research either on advancing research methodologies or on applying advanced methods to education issues.

Doctoral students also present research at conferences, collaborate with faculty on peer-reviewed publications, engage in the work of interdisciplinary research centers through graduate assistantships and learn in an environment with small class sizes and supportive faculty.

Our graduates accept tenure-track or research faculty positions in research universities as well as research positions in state departments of education, school districts and other research organizations.
