Recognized among the nation's top 20 Educational Psychology graduate programs, our Measurement and Statistics curriculum equips students with essential data analysis skills and statistical methodologies for critical educational assessments. These evaluations provide valuable insights into school systems, student achievement, and teacher effectiveness. The program develops future leaders in educational research, preparing them for diverse professional roles involving the collection, analysis, and interpretation of educational data.
Florida State provides both master's (available online or in-person) and doctoral degrees for those pursuing careers in educational measurement, statistics, and assessment. The master's program in Measurement and Statistics combines theoretical foundations with practical training in measurement theory, statistical methods, and program evaluation. This degree can also enhance advanced studies in related fields like Educational Leadership, Educational Psychology, or Instructional Technology. Additionally, we provide a 15-credit graduate certificate option in Measurement and Statistics.
Our Ph.D. program in Measurement and Statistics focuses on advanced training and practical application of statistical methods in educational contexts. Doctoral candidates explore innovative psychometric techniques and tackle complex assessment challenges using real-world educational data. Many students gain valuable field experience through our partnership with the Florida Department of Education's internship program.
