There are no formal prerequisites, but an introductory course in statistical methods (e.g., EDP/EPE 557 or 558) and a basic course in educational tests and measures (e.g., EDP/EPE/EDC 522 ) are recommended. The course may be conducted in either an online or face-to-face format, depending on the semester and instructor.
