The Survey Research and Methodology
(SRAM) Program at UNL offers two degrees:
- Master of Science
- Doctor of Philosophy
Both degrees are strongly cross-disciplinary.
The M.S. program is designed to provide
students with comprehensive expertise in survey methodology,
equipping them to conduct survey research and analysis
in a wide range of fields in the public and private
sectors, including health, education, media, official
statistics, and polling. The M.S. program is a two-year
non-thesis program which includes an internship with
an external organization, agency or company.
MS Curriculum
The Ph.D. program
offers specialization opportunities
in areas such as data analysis, social
and cognitive survey research, questionnaire
design, and cross-cultural and cross-national
survey research. The program is designed
as a four-year program and requires
a dissertation of original work that
advances knowledge in the field of survey
methodology. In addition to advanced
opportunities in government, business,
and non-profit sectors, Ph.D. graduates
are likely to have opportunities within
academic settings.
PhD Curriculum
The Survey Research and Methodology
(SRAM) Program also offers a Certificate program. The Certificate program is designed to meet the needs of people possibly already active in the business world who recognize the advantages to be gained through a solid understanding of survey methods and data analysis. It should suit anyone who wants to add this important area of expertise to their qualifications without engaging in an MS-length course of study.
