Hi there! I was in the UIC MESA program MEd program - I loved it, and ended up switching to the PhD MESA program. Tuition is generally less expensive than other programs in Chicago, and courses are held online or at night. The professors are really engaging, and the coursework is very applied. What would you like to know?

Hi there! I'm a a PhD student in education psychology at UIC. My program involves less counselling, and more quant data analysis. We tend to look at scoring models, evaluations and ed data. To answer your questions: 1) Job prospects are pretty decent - check the Association for Institutional Research site, here: https://www.airweb.org/Careers/Pages/Jobs.aspx 2) Sure, I believe you can land research analyst jobs or similar position with an M.Ed. 3) Education Testing Service, Pearson's, survey companies 4) No idea.. 5) I guess it depends on if you plan to be a teach at an R01 institution. If you're planning to work in the private sector, it doesn't appear to be a big deal. 6) Debt? Maybe pick up an RA'ship?
