The Doctor of Philosophy in Measurement, Quantitative Methods, and Learning Sciences prepares students for employment as faculty members at colleges and universities. Graduates also find employment in areas such as directors of educational components of health care institutions and social service agencies. Typically, these students develop an individually tailored Ph.D. program which emphasizes theory and research in one or more areas related to learning and development, special populations, higher education, health education and/or measurement and statistics. Originally named the Ph.D. Educational Psychology and Individual Differences, the Ph.D. program in Measurement, Quantitative Methods, & Learning Sciences continues to represent core elements of the definition of Educational Psychology, which includes “Instruction in learning theory, human growth and development, and research methods, and psychological evaluations” (according to IPEDS [Integrated Post-secondary Education Data System]), but enhances the employment prospects of program graduates.
