Master of Arts in Program Evaluation and Assessment

The program is designed to prepare students for positions in assessment and evaluation, particularly in educational settings or healthcare organizations. With an increasing emphasis on accountability, the demand for assessment and program evaluation is high in many fields. The curriculum will provide students with the knowledge and experience to: i) understand theories, issues, and approaches in assessment and program evaluation, ii) develop and administer formative and summative assessments and evaluation instruments, and iii) analyze and interpret assessment or evaluation results for evidence-based decision making. Students in this program will develop these skills and knowledge with a choice of a concentration in either education or health.
