As our world continues to digitize, the need to collect, analyze, interpret, store, and use data increases. In the education world, for better or worse, testing and data are driving decisions more and more as schools seek to be evidence-driven and governing bodies seek accountability.  

The Master's (MEd, MA, or MS) in Educational Assessment, Measurement, and Evaluation focuses on the application of data analysis, assessment tools, qualitative and quantitative research, psychometrics, statistics, and evaluation in educational settings for the purpose of improving student learning and institutional effectiveness.

"The field of educational assessment is inherently interdisciplinary because it incorporates pedagogy, psychology, statistics, and policy," said Katie Chemis, Editor-in-Chief of Top Master's in Education. "And with our online ranking, working professionals have more options for their education while still holding down a job."

Top Master's in Education retrieved data for the ranking from U.S. News & World Report, the National Center for Education Statistics, college websites, and the National Council for Teacher Quality (NCTQ). Three categories were scored: reputation, affordability, and specific program ratings.
