The Applied Social Research certificate offers students the opportunity to acquire specialized knowledge and training in applied social research methods without necessarily pursuing a graduate degree. Students may pursue the certificate simultaneously while completing an advanced degree. Completion of the program will enable students to (1) obtain marketable job/career skills in applied social research with expertise in qualitative analysis and writing, quantitative methods, data analysis software packages, and program evaluation methods; and 2) apply ethically and socially informed judgment to social research by using sociological concepts to effectively inform academic audiences, policy makers, community planners, and organizational units.
