The program expects students entering the program to have achieved master's-level competency in statistics. This is a prerequisite for enrollment in Quantitative Research Methods (16:194:604), a program core methods course option for all students. Competency in statistics will be assessed by the instructor for 604 in the semester prior to enrollment.
Students who have not successfully completed graduate-level coursework in statistics, or feel unsure about their statistical competency, are strongly encouraged to enroll in a master's-level statistics course as soon as possible. Credits earned in elementary master's-level statistics do not count toward the program's coursework credit requirements. Possible courses at Rutgers include (but are not restricted to): 17:610:511 Research Methods and 16:960:532 Statistical Methods in Education II.
