This 15-hour Certificate in Program Evaluation (CPE) is designed to meet the needs of students interested in developing foundational skills in program evaluation and research methods (including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method approaches). Skills in conducting formative evaluations, using stakeholder focus groups, and bringing the lens of implementation science to the planned collection and analysis of data make these courses unique from most other research and statistics courses at UTSA. The CPE is offered through the Department of Educational Psychology in the College of Education and Human Development. The Certificate in Program Evaluation allows non-degree-seeking students (e.g., professionals in the San Antonio community) as well as graduate students in COEHD and other Colleges to obtain recognition of advanced studies in Program Evaluation by completing a 15-semester-credit-hour course sequence. This certificate conforms to the training guidelines of the American Evaluation Association (AEA), which is the primary professional organization focusing on program evaluation training, supervision, and competencies.
