The Educational Research specialization is designed to ground students in applied research methodology in education. Unlike other programs that specialize in particular content areas, the Educational Research program provides students with research skills that can be applied in any field of education. A background in research methods can also be a valuable asset in social sciences like psychology or sociology. Students who are interested in how to evaluate research reports and create valuable and trustworthy knowledge in education should consider this specialization. Strong research skills are also beneficial for students who desire to pursue doctoral studies in education and the social sciences.
