Certificate in Community-Engaged Research and Evaluation

The graduate certificate in Community-Engaged Research and Evaluation equips students with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to conduct authentic community-engaged research and evaluation, which is based on the premise that communities (individuals, organizations, and agencies) have the best understandings of their own assets, needs, values, and activities. Researchers and evaluators work in partnership with communities to construct questions and methods, collect data, and interpret results to develop the practical knowledge and tools that can resolve locally relevant problems.
