Students take an exam in their third or fourth year that is based on reading lists related to content in courses they have taken up until that point. Doctoral applicants admitted to the QM program receive a guaranteed 5 years of stipend and tuition support, which usually takes the form of a combination of research assistantships, teaching assistantships in quantitative courses for instance, the introductory graduate statistics sequence.
Senior students routinely obtain other kinds of stipends as statistical analysts or consultants for various research projects and grants on campus; these opportunities serve as valuable supplementary training experiences. Some students also serve as teaching instructors for their own section of an undergraduate statistics course or undergraduate measurement course in order to deepen their teaching credentials. Application instructions are available here.
In Spring , the QM program launched a terminal M. This program is distinct from our longstanding research-focused Ph. More information about the goals and expectations for applicants to our M. Doctoral students outside the QM program may elect to minor in quantitative methods. This formal minor involves taking four advanced methods courses from the QM program beyond the first year required graduate statistics sequence 6 courses total. The minor requires a 3.
The minor provides students with exceptional training in the application of complex psychometric and statistical procedures and provides students with skills that can enhance the quality of their research program over the course of their career.
Many students find that the credential of a graduate minor in quantitative methods is a valuable asset in the pursuit of research-oriented academic positions or quantitatively-oriented industry positions after graduation.
Detailed information on minor requirements can be obtained from the Psychological Sciences graduate student handbook. For more information, contact Kris Preacher.
The QM program offers an credit undergraduate minor in quantitative methodology. For information on our new undergraduate QM minor, please click here. The QM colloquium series features a mix of external speakers from different settings e. Each semester our QM forum also contains internal program speakers, QM students and QM faculty, to allow us to share our research with, and gain feedback from, our colleagues.
For more information on the QM Colloquium please visit the Colloquium schedule. At least once per year the QM Colloquium Series features an Open House where statistical consulting problems presented by Peabody faculty guest s receive a program-level discussion.
Department of Psychology and Human Development. The Master of Science in Cognitive Psychology in Context provides students with strong training in the science of cognitive psychology. Designed by Vanderbilt Peabody College faculty, the program focuses on how cognitive processes unfold in everyday contexts. Thinking of pursuing doctoral studies in cognitive science? As part of our program, you'll have the opportunity to design a master's thesis that reports the results of your student-directed research project.
You will develop this independent research project working in close collaboration with our internationally renowned faculty, acquiring the critical skills for master's students to successfully pursue future advanced research in a Ph. The Department of Psychology is closely connected with the Peabody College's Department of Psychology and Human Development with which it forms the graduate program in Psychological Sciences. We are proud of our distinguished alumni and generous donors supporting our mission to advance our understanding of the human mind and brain.
We are located on the Vanderbilt Campus at the David K.
