The MS student focuses on core knowledge, best practices, current theories, and research. This program is unique from our other programs because the student learns to conduct original research. These students often go into either academic careers or jobs that require research skills. This degree sets the student up for leadership because they use these research skills to support their ideas with data. The MS student will graduate with research experience and produce a final research thesis.
