Evaluation of Family, Health and Social Development Programs

3 cr · Graduate

This course teaches the theory and practice of program evaluation with a focus on health and social development programs. It emphasizes a utilization-focused evaluation approach. It studies program evaluation from a "real world" perspective, including the political and ethical issues related to evaluation. The course provides strong theoretical foundations. Students put this into practice by working with a particular agency/program to fully develop an evaluation plan to be actually used by the agency/program. May not be held with the former FMLY 7500.
