Instructions

SPSS (Statistical Program for the Social Sciences) is a computer program that is the de-facto standard used by research institutions and universities for the completion of quantitative analysis.As a doctoral learner, knowledge of quantitative research techniques and the application of these methods as provided in the application software is a required doctoral competency.Doctoral learners are required to use SPSS during several courses to complete specific assignments.Doctoral learners may execute SPSS Base Module and Advanced Statistics in one of two ways.

SPSS Installation on Learner's PC or MAC

SPSS Base and Advanced Statistics Modules may be installed on a PC or MAC computer.The combined program is very large so please make sure you have at least 2 GB of available disk space on your computer.Once the program file is downloaded, you may access SPSS software to complete classroom assignments and perform quantitative analysis as related to your own research.Actual installation can be performed in less than five minutes after the file has been downloaded.However, the initial download may exceed 60 minutesif your Internet connection is relatively slow.In some instances when the download exceeds 60 minutes, the download may not complete.Should you experience issues when attempting to download the SPSS file, please access the SPSS Server (below).
