The RMinE masters degree (M.S.) provides students with a specialization in the application of educational research methods. These methods can be applied to a host of disciplines, including the social sciences, physical sciences, K-12 instruction/administration, and business.

Students will receive a foundation in key, introductory elements of research through the Core Courses along with additional specialization into various areas of concentration, including quantitative methods, evaluation, or research design. The added concentration area of specialization within the masters degree program provides, in addition to the introduction to educational research methods through the Core Courses, advanced professional preparation for a new career or career advancement as a researcher, evaluator, K-12 instructor/administrator, or policymaker. The masters degree program also provides an excellent gateway to further doctoral study.
