BUSP 4400 - Experimental Design

Credits: 3 hours
Prerequisites: MATH 2000 or COMM 2010 with a grade of “C-” or better.
This course provides the student with an overview of causal statistical analysis -what it is, how to do it, and, most importantly, how to critically assess studies others have done. Although the course will examine both quantitative and qualitative methods, emphasis will be placed on quantitative methods and students should have completed an introductory statistics course. While some statistical material will be covered, emphasis will be placed on discussion of research strategies, designs, and interpretation of results. Previously PBPL 4200.
