Program Evaluation and Impact Assessment (Advanced Certificate)

Program Description

This Advanced Certificate provides training in assessing the effectiveness of funded, programmatic, and policy interventions. The curriculum is designed for evaluation researchers, social and community service managers, management analysts, and survey researchers, as well as policy professionals in domestic and international settings who are tasked with developing, funding, selecting, or assessing social programs.
