Through our Ph.D, M.A., and Certificate programs, EDMS students become trained in modern analytical methods to prepare them for careers in academia and applied research. Our faculty are engaged in world-class research at the frontiers of our field, creating opportunities for our students to be mentored in all phases of the research process.
