Description
Evaluation of public programs typically managed by public administrators, based on established quantitative and qualitative methods. Students analyze applied research design, data collection, data management, data analysis, analytical reporting, and governmental and organizational research and data. Students recognize the need to effectively collaborate with non-profit organizations and other contractors through which many of these programs are offered. Students evaluate programs, analyze policy research, and synthesize the research to plan programs, make critical decisions, and communicate their results to others.
