In this doctoral seminar, students focus on the scholarly and practice-oriented literature related to multivariate analysis. Students explore major theoretical approaches and practices that define the discipline and strategic and organizational implications of multivariate analysis. During the majority of the seminar, students work with colleagues, including faculty members, to identify threads and tendencies for further reading and discussion in a true doctoral seminar format. They also have the opportunity to lead their colleagues as well as to participate in academic discourse.
