Prospective Measurement & Evaluation PhD Student
Hi everyone,
I’m currently preparing for PhD applications in Measurement & Evaluation for Fall 2027. I’m a first-year master’s student in Student Affairs & Higher Education with interests in assessment*.*
So far, I’ve shortlisted schools, started preparing for the GRE, and planned for LoRs. This summer, I’m hoping to gain more exposure to research in the field.
I wanted to ask if anyone here is working on a project related to psychometrics, assessment, validation, survey design, or statistical modelling that I could shadow or assist with remotely in some capacity. Even informal exposure to research workflows or methods would be very valuable as I refine my interests and prepare for doctoral study.
I am passionate about the field, but I’d love more practical insight into how research projects operate.
I’d also appreciate any advice on experiences or skills that would strengthen a PhD application in this area. Thank you!
