Students in the program evaluation concentration study under nationally recognized expert faculty and research staff. Students are trained in the application of both quantitative and qualitative methods for evaluation, exposed to the newest cutting-edge strategies, and have the opportunity to participate directly on interdisciplinary evaluation teams of actual community-based projects. The evaluation concentration typically involves taking courses in basic and advanced evaluation methods, qualitative approaches, health survey methods, and the evaluation practicum. A total of 15 graduate credits are required, including a 3 credit applied evaluation internship experience under the supervision of a designated faculty member. The program is open to students presently enrolled in the Graduate School of Public Health as well as graduate students in other schools and departments at the University of Pittsburgh. In addition, the certificate program is open to community-based professionals in health, social welfare, and other related fields.
