Global Directory of Academic Programs in Evaluation

The program is intended to prepare graduates for more advanced study of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods and for roles in research organizations. Students have the flexibility to develop an interdisciplinary understanding of the field of educational research and evaluation. This major is intended to allow students the flexibility necessary to develop programs that meet their individual needs and interests.

The program is intended to prepare graduates for faculty positions and for leadership roles in research organizations. Additionally, the degree is intended to allow students the flexibility necessary to develop programs that meet their individual needs and interests. Students are encouraged to develop their program of study in consultation with their advisor to include quantitative, qualitative, psychometrics, and evaluation. Students are required to identify four core areas for their programs, which will serve as areas for a comprehensive examination.

This program prepares students for the proper use and application of advanced statistics and evaluation procedures, specifically applied in the social and behavioral disciplines of education, psychology, counseling and other related fields. Our graduates are prepared for educational research and evaluation positions in schools, government agencies, private corporations and foundations, colleges and universities, research institutions and national testing companies.

This graduate certificate is designed for students who hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree and seek to gain a critical understanding of key educational program evaluation techniques, including qualitative inquiry. In this program, students will gain practice in carrying out a real-life program evaluation, including how to plan and design evaluations and logic models.

This certificate program uses a culturally-responsive and equitable evaluation framework. A culturally-responsive or equitable evaluation looks like:
i) Accounting for and respecting culture and context throughout the evaluation process; ii) Including stakeholder voice (service user, funder, etc.) in the evaluation as much as possible; iii) Striving to ensure the evaluation approach reveals structural and systems-level drivers of inequity that impact programs; iv) Disseminating results of the evaluation widely; and v) Using findings of the evaluation to build the capacity of community and community organizations.

This online program provides training in cognition and the learning sciences coupled with educational research and program evaluation skills. The program is open to educators and non-educators alike.

This certificate program is designed for professionals who wish to develop competence in the design and implementation of effective evaluation strategies, as well as in the interpretation and communication of data. Individuals will learn practical skills that can be put to use in a wide range of fields, including education, government, social service, public health, community development, corporate, and environmental areas. This interdisciplinary certificate is offered in collaboration with the Data Analytics program and the Departments of Education, Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning, Child Study and Human Development.

In this program, students can expect to acquire the necessary skills to assess the performance, effectiveness, and impact of global public health programs. The courses offered will enable students to work effectively with global public health organizations involved with M&E and program implementation. The Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is recognized for its expertise in M&E, and for producing students with strong marketable skills in this area. Students with this certificate will be prepared for jobs within the public and private sectors that focus on M&E across a broad range of public health areas.

The programs emphasize the design and conduct of research and evaluation, development and application of new techniques, analysis and interpretation of data in the context of theory and practice, and critical examination of research-based claims. Our goal is to prepare individuals who can critically examine research and evaluation, develop data collection designs and instruments, and conduct conceptual and statistical analyses appropriate to the field of education as well as other behavioral and social sciences.
