Welcome to the programs in Human Development, and Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation. We offer some of the nation's premiere graduate training in psychometric and statistical methods, and in human development, developmental science, and educational psychology. Through our Ph.D, M.A., and Certificate programs, HDQM students become trained to conduct research on a broad range of topics, ranging from basic neural processes to broad social and contextual factors that influence learning and development. Students acquire statistical and research design expertise from leading statisticians and methodologists to prepare them for careers in academia and applied research. Our faculty are engaged in world-class research at the frontiers of our field, creating opportunities for our students to be mentored in all phases of the research process.
