Graduate Certificate in Serious Game and Simulation Design
The Quantitative Research Certificate (QRC) is designed to prepare researchers and scholars to be users and critical consumers of quantitative research. Certificate holders are trained to conduct rigorous, scientific quantitative research.
Students completing the QRC (depending on the chosen track) will be able to:
- Design effective experimental and quasi-experimental studies
- Manage and use large scale datasets
- Analyze various types of datasets (e.g., nested data, longitudinal data) with the appropriate modeling techniques
- Apply advanced statistical methods (e.g., structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling) in their own research
- Critically review studies that make use of a diverse set of statistical methods
- Conduct measurement-related studies using techniques such as factor analysis or item response theory
Requirements
The graduate certificate is a 16 credit hour program. All courses are online.
