Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology - Quantitative/Psychometric Methods

An international leader in applications and theory of psychological measurement, the Quantitative/Psychometric Methods program brings together the talents of program and affiliated faculty. You can specialize in one or more areas of psychometrics, including multivariate methodology such as factor analysis, structural equation modeling, item response theory, computerized adaptive testing, multi-way data analysis, and nonparametric methods. You are encouraged to conduct research with more than one faculty member over your course of study. Affiliated faculty interests include methodological and substantive problems in cognitive measurement (including the measurement of abilities, aptitude, and achievement), psychopathology, personality measurement, and the measurement of preferences. The QPM program will prepare you for research, teaching, and technical careers. You will learn research skills that will help you develop innovative solutions to problems in psychological measurement and the analysis of psychological change. Our program covers problems of translating psychological observations into numerical form by developing psychological measurement instruments and by developing new methods for scaling psychological data, investigating the reliability and validity of psychological data, and analyzing psychometric data using a variety of modeling approaches. We also maintain a close collaboration with the the School of Statistics, and many of our students acquire an MS in statistics while enrolled in the program. The QPM program does not accept students for a terminal MA.
