The Social Research Methods microcredential provides students with expertise in qualitative and quantitative research skills in the social sciences. By taking three courses (9 credit hours) in sociology, anthropology and geospatial research, students gain hands-on investigative skills and learn how scientific evidence can support, build and challenge our understanding of society. This microcredential also trains students to undertake social research that can guide policies and interventions.
