Overview
This Survey Data Collection and Analytics Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Maryland covers the fundamentals of surveys as used in market research, evaluation research, social science and political research, official government statistics, and many other topic domains.
In six courses, you will learn the basics of questionnaire design, data collection methods, sampling design, dealing with missing values, making estimates, combining data from different sources, and the analysis of survey data. In the final Capstone Project, you’ll apply the skills learned throughout the specialization by analyzing and comparing multiple data sources.
Faculty for this specialisation comes from the Michigan Program in Survey Methodology and the Joint Program in Survey Methodology, a collaboration between the University of Maryland, the University of Michigan, and the data collection firm Westat, founded by the National Science Foundation and the Interagency Consortium of Statistical Policy in the U.S. to educate the next generation of survey researchers, survey statisticians, and survey methodologists.
In addition to this specialization we offer short courses, a summer school, certificates, master degrees as well as PhD programs.
