The Research and Evaluation Program at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a graduate-level program designed to provide students with the knowledge in the filed of educational statistics and measurement. Course work exposes students to general principles of inferential statistics, multivariate statistics, structural equation modeling, classical test theory and item response theory. Graduates of this program typically find positions at colleges and universities, testing companies, school districts, government agencies and research centers.

Doctoral students are eligible to apply for research and teaching assistantships and fellowships. Students with strong background and interest in statistics and education are especially encouraged to apply.

In most cases, students from a statistics department will have a strong background in statistics. Meanwhile, students from other fields might be good at statistics too. However, this is a graduate program. Students will be trained to be good at statistics and measurement through course work and research. The important thing is a strong interest in statistics will help you succeed in the program.

This kind of program is more applied than math stats programs. Mathematically, it is less challenging. Students who are more interested in the application of statistics often find this kind of program appealing to their needs.

Specifically, this program is about the application of statistical methods in analyzing educational data, such as students' test scores. Most people from ETS (Educational Testing Service) probably got their degree from this kind of program. As you might be able to see now, a strong stats background or interest is a great plus to succeed in this field.

I don't know which email address you used, but either of these should work: Razia Azen at azen@uwm.edu or Bo Zhang at boz@uwm.edu
