Degrees in educational psychology-statistics education concentration
within the quantitative methods in education track
Students may earn an M.A. or a
Ph.D. in educational psychology with
statistics education as an area of concentration. This area of
concentration is one of four within quantitative methods in education,
which is housed in the psychological foundations track. A
minor in educational psychology with
an emphasis in statistics education for students in other graduate
programs is also available.
All students in the statistics education concentration are
expected to develop their knowledge of areas related to statistics
education as well as methodological competencies in statistics,
measurement, and evaluation. A teaching internship allows students
to apply what they learn to the classroom setting and receive
supervision and feedback on their teaching.
The research requirement for the master’s paper or doctoral
dissertation for this focus prepares students to conduct high
quality educational research applied to the teaching and learning of
statistics, and to link the results of research to classroom
practice.
There are opportunities for graduate research and teaching
assistantships for qualified students that will provide tuition and
also pay a salary.
For more information and a detailed description of the plan and
its requirements, please contact Joan Garfield (612-625-0337,
