Brenna Gomer, Ph.D. ’21
Assistant Professor of Psychology, Utah State University
"The quantitative psychology program at ND really prepared me well for a career in academia. The coursework is very rigorous and has made me feel qualified to teach a wide range of methodological courses. However, the most valuable aspect of my training came from the faculty: the mentoring I received from quantitative faculty — all at the top of their field — was truly exceptional. Their guidance and passion for developing statistical methodology have been pivotal when it comes to making novel contributions in my own research.”
