Studying at the University of Alberta

Measurement, Evaluation, and DATA SCIENCE

The Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science (MEDS) program aims to provide students with a solid foundation in  four areas:

1. Psychometrics (designing, analyzing, and interpreting high-quality instruments), 

2. Research Methodology (statistical methods and research design), 

3. Evaluation (the evaluation of educational and organizational programs), and 

4. Data Science (data mining techniques, machine learning algorithms, and learning analytics).

We will begin to accept Master's and PhD applications for Fall 2026 in September. If you are interested in pursuing graduate studies in MEDS, please feel free to email me (bulut@ualberta.ca) or other faculty members in the MEDS program. Check out the MEDS website for further information about the application process.
