Description:
The College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago is seeking qualified students for its Masters of Education (MEd) in Measurement, Evaluation, Statistics and Assessment (MESA) online program.


The MEd in MESA online program provides an opportunity for domestic and international students with a bachelor's degree from any social, behavioral or health-science field to obtain a MEd in MESA. The MEd in MESA online program provides rigorous training in quantitative and qualitative methodologies and addresses the current industry-wide shortage of individuals capable of functioning effectively in educational research and other social science research settings. The MEd in MESA online program is designed for several student populations:


- students who want to acquire the knowledge and technical skills needed for entry-level positions in academic institutions, state and federal agencies, school districts, and the testing and evaluation industry (e.g., licensure and certification boards, private and not-for-profit testing organizations)

- students who eventually wish to pursue doctoral studies in a MESA area

- PhD students in education and other fields who want to increase their research skills and enhance their career opportunities by simultaneously enrolling in the MEd in MESA online program.
