Social Impact Metrics

2 credits · Graduate

To provide an overview of the real world challenges of measuring impact in the social sector, this course will delve into the metrics challenges facing four nonprofit organizations selected as “clients”. Students will apply frameworks and approaches from the course to help these nonprofits address the specific metrics problems they have identified and improve their performance. Students will have the opportunity to work directly with executives of the nonprofit organizations during the course, and to present their metrics solutions to the nonprofit cancer organizations, each of whom have all received grants from Amgen to implement the metrics solutions proposed by the student teams.
