Hey guys so I might be enrolling in the Ed.M program for measurement and evaluation at TC as well. I'm trying to decide between that, and the similar masters program at Penn GSE (STATISTICS, measurement, assessment, research technology). I'm just worried that the program at TC is very long. It requires a minimum of 60 credits, which is twice what most schools require for similar programs. Also, 6o credits isn't very far off from the required credit hours for a Ph.D, which is 75. The EdM program requires like 12 credits of just psychology courses and 6-9 credits of education courses. This is totally beyond what other programs require in terms of electives. So basically, it feel like the program is trying to milk us for our money, and that concerns me. Maybe I'm being paranoid, what do you guys think? Also, do you guys know if the evaluation and measurement program at TC is very large? I keep reading that TC is this huge school, where it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. I recently spoke to another student who is enrolling in the statistics program, that he is having trouble just getting responses from his advisor :/
