Description

Students develop both theoretical and practical skills in research assessment and evaluation necessary for successful leadership in human service programs and agencies. Human service programs and agencies operate in an increasingly competitive environment seeking to protect existing funds and develop new funding resources, generate service expansion and provide a quality work environment to retain quality employees. To make complex policy decisions, which maintain program/agency viability and develop a competitive edge, the administrator must be well informed. As a result, the ability to assess and evaluate research is a necessary and critical skill. The objective of this course is to provide students with an overview of such assessment and evaluation skills.
