The Post-Master’s Certificate in Qualitative Research prepares graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, current faculty, and others with the skills needed for the full range of qualitative inquiry methods used in social research.
This 12-credit-hour certificate is an interdisciplinary program that includes qualitative method-intensive courses in multiple departments. It allows doctoral and other post-master students and professionals to expand their methodological training and pursue a research-intensive career. The program consists of two required courses covering the foundational knowledge of qualitative research and essential textual data collection and analysis methods.
Based on their research interests and academic goals, students select two elective courses from the wide range of qualitative methods courses provided by the ERME program and other departments, such as interview research, qualitative case study, and narrative inquiry.
