The object of this specialty area is to introduce students and research workers in rehabilitation education and related fields to the concepts and applications of statistics and research methodology. Emphasis is placed on the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data for purposes of program evaluation and other experiments.
A student desiring to work toward the Master's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, with concentration in Research Training, is generally governed by the conditions for the regular Rehabilitation Counseling program. A minimum of 67 credit hours of graduate work must include 18 credit hours in research training.
Furthermore, a thesis is required which earns an additional six credit in two semesters. The number and sequence of courses in the regular rehabilitation counseling program, which should be taken in addition to the courses designed for research training, are to be determined by the student on the advice of the program director or the faculty advisor. In suitable cases, based on the background preparation of a student, one or more of the courses scheduled for research training may be waived and substituted by an equal number of courses from the regular program.
The field work and internship experiences are mandatory for all students with the concentration in rehabilitation research training.
