The MERM Program focuses on progressing the study and application of measurement techniques, program assessment, and research approaches within social and behavioral sciences (including Psychology, Education, Quality of Life Research, and Health Studies). For over a quarter-century, MERM's faculty and students have helped establish its global recognition as a pioneering institution. Their research spans human services, healthcare, psychology, education, community programs, and public health.
As Canada's sole program of its kind and one of few in North America, MERM grants degrees specifically in Measurement, Evaluation, and Research Methodology—rather than offering MERM as a concentration within other disciplines. This distinctive interdisciplinary degree sets our graduates apart in the global academic and professional landscape.
