Political scientists frequently use quantitative methods to study public opinion, elections, social movements, wars, and other important political phenomena. This course provides students with an introduction to basic concepts in research design, statistical analysis, and causal inference, using contemporary examples of how these concepts can be applied in the real world. Students will learn how to conduct their own research using computerized data and software and present their results to others.
Open to Senior, Junior and Sophomore POLISCI majors & minors.
