Baylor Psychometric Laboratory

Mission

The mission of the Baylor Psychometric Laboratory (BPL) is to
support the faculty and students at Baylor University (BU) and other academic institutions  in the
development, application, and analysis of measurement in
educational/psychological research.

Through its development and work within BU, the BPL addresses three imperatives of Baylor 2012.
By developing an environment where students and faculty can work
together on scholarship, the BPL creates an environment where learning
can flourish (Imperative I) as well as aids in the recruitment of
strong graduate students (Imperative IV) and a world class faculty
(Imperative III).

Facilities

In addition to office space and computing programs, BPL also houses a
library of articles and books related to psychometrics and
related fields, as well as technical manuals for pertinent psychometric
software. The BPL’s computing facilities include machines with Linux,
Windows, Mac operating systems, which are available for student and
faculty consultation. The BPL’s computers are connected to BU’s
ethernet system, which allows for access to shared printers and BU
servers, as well as to the larger computing systems maintained by BU’s
Academic and Research Computing Services group (ARCS).
