The School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of
Technology is pleased to announce a new program in Quantitative
Psychology. Graduates from the program will be trained for
employment in a variety of settings, including faculty positions in
academia, research scientist positions in business and industry, and
consulting positions in organizational settings.
The Quantitative Psychology Program emphasizes the
interface between quantitative methods and psychological
issues. Graduates will be trained as quantitative specialists with a
substantial background in psychology. The exact focus of each
student's studies depends on faculty interests and course offerings
which currently include psychometric methods, item response theory,
structural equation modeling, multivariate statistics, factor
analysis and multilevel modeling as well as many other topics in
psychological methods and statistics. Students will also complete a
minor in either another area of psychology or in another
discipline. Other programs in the School of Psychology include
Experimental Psychology, Engineering Psychology and Industrial and
Organizational Psychology. Relevant disciplines outside of
psychology include computer science, industrial systems and
engineering, bioinformatics, mathematics and statistics.

I would very much appreciate your sharing this information with your
quantitative colleagues as well as any prospective students you may encounter.
Sincerely,
Prof. Susan Embretson
Director, Quantitative Program
