Learning to make numbers count

 
 
PROGRAM

 

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.
