Advanced Quantitative Methods (Certificate Program)<br />

social sciences. The program is intended for doctoral students from any department or school who have interests in<br />
research in <strong>the</strong> social sciences. The goal is to provide advanced training in quantitative methods in an interdisciplinary<br />
context to facilitate research without regard to discipline and communication across disciplinary boundaries.<br />
Applications are typically made late in <strong>the</strong> second year or in <strong>the</strong> third year.<br />
