The Department of Political Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC), in collaboration with UBC Extended Learning, is developing a new professional micro-certificate focused on the practice of attitudinal survey research, also known as opinion polling. The program will be targeted at skill acquisition, and students will receive a practical, experiential education about every aspect of the survey research process. 

This new program is in development and subject to approval by the UBC Vancouver Senate and its Curriculum Committee.
