This course explores the intersection of social theories and statistical analysis within social networks, focusing on structural dependence and its implications. You will engage in hypothesis testing of social forces using empirical data, and will learn to construct networks and model longitudinal behavior with tools such as 'statnet' and 'RSiena.' Key terminology and the hierarchy of social link formation will be emphasized, alongside practical calculations of fundamental graph and network measures like Density and Degree. Additionally, you will be able to differentiate between various network types and centrality measures, equipping them with a comprehensive understanding of social network analysis.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
