Mixed Methods Research

3 cr · Graduate

This course provides an overview of mixed methods research as a distinct and evolving methodological approach characterized by theoretical and methodological complexity. Mixed methods research purposefully integrates qualitative and quantitative designs, data, analytic approaches and interpretations within a single study or program of research to generate insights beyond what is possible through a single methodology. Building upon prior training in qualitative and quantitative methods, students will examine core theories, designs, methodological considerations, integration strategies, innovations, and applications across disciplines, with emphasis on established and emerging approaches to integration throughout the research process.
