Research Methods and Statistics PhD
The program in RMS at the PhD level focuses on measurement, research design, statistics and evaluation. All PhD students will take courses in Assessment and Development as well as major area studies. Doctoral students will also take dissertation credits. Admission to the PhD requires a master's degree.
In addition to the facilities of the entire campus, there are three features of the RMS Program at DU that distinguish it as a strong graduate program.
Engaged Professors
We are fortunate to have an outstanding faculty. Professors are not only leaders in their fields but also demonstrate a deep commitment to students' academic and personal growth. While our professors set high standards for students, they also individualize requirements to meet each student's needs and goals.
Diverse Students
Another feature of this program is the students themselves. A wide range of experiences, creative ideas, sincere dedication to research and a sense of humor are some of the characteristics of people in our program. We enjoy each other's genuine cooperation, encouragement and inspiration.
Small Classes
Small class sizes are the third distinguishing feature of our program. We get to know one another and engage in ongoing dialogue about topics of interest, form study groups and give advice about the direction of a project or dissertation. Personal and professional friendships form and continue long after graduate school.
These features contribute to an outstanding educational experience. We feel fortunate to be part of a program in which professors make themselves readily available for consultation, students support and assist one another, and small class sizes result in rich interaction among students and faculty.
