ONLINE PROGRAMS IN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY starting Fall 2009

The College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago is seeking qualified students for its Masters of Education (MEd) in Measurement, Evaluation, Statistics and Assessment (MESA) online program and for the Educational Research Methodology (ERM) online certificate.

This online program provides an opportunity for domestic and international students with a bachelor's degree from any social, behavioral or health-science field to obtain a MEd in MESA. The MEd in MESA online program provides rigorous training in quantitative and qualitative methodologies and addresses the current industry-wide shortage of individuals capable of functioning effectively in educational research and other social science research settings.

For more information about the MEd in MESA online program or the ERM online certificate please contact Everett Smith at evsmith@uic.edu or 1 312 355-0575 for a flyer.
