Applicants can attend part time, or full time but they should have should have a masters degree, some work experience in higher education, and have a clear direction for the research they would like to conduct. While our program is not built around individual faculty interests, we seek students that have research interests that align with those of the faculty in the program, so students are encouraged to visit faculty web pages. The ideal student for our program has a basic understanding of statistics, a high level of reflexivity, and are able to write at the graduate level.
