Certificate in Public and Nonprofit Evaluation
The Certificate in Public and Nonprofit Evaluation is a 15 credit hour online program. As it is an online program, it is expected students will complete the program in three semesters. Two courses in each of the first two semesters followed by one semester of one course. This certificate approaches program evaluation as a professional field and not simply a tool. As an additional professional credential, the certificate in evaluation will strengthen the capacity for recipients to utilize evidence driven approaches to assess the effectiveness of programs and services in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
