Mission / Purpose (train evaluation practitioners, train researchers/scholars in evaluation)
The philosophy of the Evaluation, Measurement and Research (EMR) program is one of INQUIRY. Evaluation is in a broad sense, and arm of inquiry that seeks as its goal to assign value to various thing or outcomes. Research is the action component of INQUIRY and becomes apparent in how scientific inquiry gets executed or carried out. Measurement links the unobservable interests of researchers (constructs like value) to observable events and/or behaviors (outcomes) that are imbedded in the arena of interest. Inquiry, as a discipline, is the interaction among the triad of E, M & R that together responds to the needs of the stakeholders thus making the whole (E+M+R) greater than the sum of its parts

The Master's Program is designed to prepare graduates for staff positions in evaluation, testing, or research units in schools or non-school organizations. The Ph.D. Program is designed to prepare evaluators, assessment specialists, and researchers for leadership and teaching positions in schools, non school organizations, institutions of higher education, and government.
