“What I most appreciate about this program is that students are provided with a variety of experiences that set them up for success in their chosen career, whether that is in research or as a practitioner in the field. As a student I've gained hands-on experience with data collection, analysis, dissemination of research, project coordination, and using research to support professional development. All of these experiences are highly applicable to a variety of career pathways!”
- Janelle Carlson, MS/PhD Student
