Personal Quote

EDRE master’s program helped me to develop research skills and analytical thinking. I was able to apply this knowledge while working on my dissertation, as well as in my current position. Being able to analyze and understand data and the ability to ask the right questions to ensure the success of my current projects are the skills that I gained while being a part of this program.

Advice to current and future Educational Research (EDRE) students 

Stay curious! It is important to ask questions and listen. Data analysis is a great skill to have for any profession.
