Data on consumers, services and industries are in high demand among businesses, non-profit organizations, research institutes, government agencies and those pursuing private enterprise. The Graduate Certificate in Data Collection and Management at Montclair State will provide specialized training in the use of surveys, interviews and focus groups as sources of data collection and analysis. The coursework for this program was developed in consultation with experienced professionals who work as market research analysts, research associates, survey researchers, project directors and evaluation analysts. Using their advice, we have designed a curriculum that focuses on cutting edge methods and tools used by both private companies and non-profit organizations to collect, analyze, interpret and present social data.
