Education Evaluation Programs

Detailed profiles of schools for Education Evaluation from the EdRef college search portal.

Education Evaluation programs are usually taught at the graduate level and focus on providing students with the knowledge they need to complete and evaluate educational research that is both theoretical and practical. Students study such topics as research methodology, experimental design, psychometrics, inferential statistics, and qualitative research methods. Students gain a solid foundation in these subjects and then continue by focusing in on one specific area of study.

Students graduate prepared to enter careers in such areas as education statistical methods, research, evaluation, and measurement. They may work in medical schools, school districts, state departments of education, research centers, universities, and federal agencies. Graduates have the ability to apply methods of quantitative evaluation to problems associated with educational research and assessment. Classroom instruction is combined with different types of mentoring experiences in which students have the chance to gain real-world experience in program evaluation, psychometrics, and policy research studies.
