The Department of Educational Psychology offers a university-endorsed Graduate Certificate in Measurement and Statistics. Upon completion of the required courses and capstone project, graduates will receive a formal certificate and their accomplishments will be shown on their UH transcripts.
Applicants for certificate programs must be in a classified graduate program, or be eligible for unclassified graduate status at UH Mānoa, and must have demonstrated previous course work in statistics with grades of B+ or above.
The 15-credit Measurement and Statistics (MS) certificate addresses a need to develop documented expertise in measurement and statistics for masters and doctoral students across the campus. Students can tailor the courses that they take to their own interests and needs. A capstone project course gives students an opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge. The research results will be shared in a public forum at the end of the semester the certificate is completed. Students who demonstrate their proficiency through the MS curriculum will be prepared for roles in state, national, and international testing offices and research units and in higher education offices that require expertise in measurement and statistics. The pre-requisite for the MS certificate is EDEP 604 - Applied Regression and Analysis of Variance or an equivalent graduate course.
Students can substitute or transfer up to one course to the certificate if that course is equivalent to a required course of the certificate. Any substitution or transfer course must be approved by the EDEP faculty.
