Graduate Certificate in Program Evaluation at Eastern Washington University
Competency in program evaluation is an essential skill and need in the public health arena. With limited resources, programs need to provide evidence that they are wise stewards of resources, are delivering on their goals, and are maximizing the returns on investments. Organizations must be able to not just measure, but to maximize their program impact as well.
Students in the Graduate Certificate in Program Evaluation will gain a competitive edge and improve their marketability in this high-demand area. They will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to conduct and commission culturally responsive program evaluations through project-based learning. Students will work with their professors to complete real-world program evaluation projects.
Courses for this 9-month certificate program are offered entirely online with both asynchronous lectures and synchronous weekly discussions in the evenings.
