- Description
- The Master of Science in Applied Quantitative Methods and Social Analysis is an interdisciplinary, flexible, and innovative degree that focuses on quantitative research methods for social analysis strategies and techniques. The program integrates the interdisciplinary perspectives and methodological and analytical tools across the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. The program seeks to educate ambitious social scientists and analysts primed to deploy computational tools for social analysis and tackle social science questions of equity, hierarchy, social organization, and social systems. The 21st-century economy will increasingly demand a workforce capable of collecting, processing, analyzing, and interpreting large-scale data on human attributes, personal preferences, social attributes, and political behavior. In response, this program provides students with rigorous training in quantitative research and social science methods to address important questions of social inquiry. Emphasizing public dissemination of findings, the program is designed to prepare students to inform policymakers, decision makers in the private and public sectors, and the broader community. These skills prepare graduates to pursue analytical or research careers in corporations, nonprofits, and public services or to continue their education.
