The George Washington University Survey Design and Data Analysis Graduate Certificate Program provides the framework to prepare professionals, from both public and private sectors, for a variety of career opportunities in the survey research field.

This invaluable program focuses on the skills needed in today's changing survey environment, introducing students to all phases of survey research - designing and pretesting the questionnaire, sampling cases, collecting and compiling data, computing estimates and margin of errors, and writing reports, as well as managing the entire survey process.

Graduates acquire expertise to manage the various phases of the process in a variety of corporate, association, or government agency settings. Our graduates work in government, public opinion and market research firms, political polling firms, private industry, and other related organizations.
