Mathematics, Psychology , '23

Mollie says her UHart Statistics for Psychology course inspired her to apply to the MS in Applied Statistics and Psychometrics at Boston College. She has a strong desire to apply her statistical and mathematical skills to help others. She describes psychometrics as using data, measurements, and tools to gain a deeper understanding of psychological factors such as personality, attitude, and mental abilities.
