The doctoral program in assessment and measurement was
established at James Madison University in 1998. This innovative
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program is designed to meet
the expanding accountability, quality assurance, and outcome
assessment needs of the 21st century. Students are prepared
for careers as assessment, evaluation, and measurement
specialists in applied settings such as education, health
services, business, and government. A strong emphasis is
placed on real-world applications, with experiential research
projects integrated throughout the program.
