The qualitative and quantitate research skills I have learned and practiced at Peabody allow me to conduct quality research.

I try to make a positive impact in education by providing research and coalition building to a variety of stakeholders across the nation. The qualitative and quantitate research skills I have learned and practiced at Peabody allow me to conduct quality research. I am also able to provide expert guidance to education leaders and advocates by bridging the gap between theory and practice.

The focus on balancing theory and practice is a key characteristic of Peabody. Students get a chance to learn about theory and acquire research design skills and have a chance to practice with both through class projects and internships.
