The three departments in the College of Education and Human Ecology (EHE) offer an array of qualitative and mixed-methods courses taught by world-renowned and knowledgeable faculty to support students in strengthening their research skills. The offering of these courses reflects the feedback collected through the EHE Qualitative Curriculum Survey in 2020.
View this document for the most recent list of qualitative courses, including what courses you can count on each semester/year. It includes some courses beyond the EHE, but EHE students are encouraged to take qualitative courses within their home departments unless discussed with advisors.
