15-17 hours

The minor in Program Planning & Evaluation is designed to prepare students to systematically assess the efficiency and effectiveness of program, policies, and organization across human services, government, non-profits, and public health sectors. Students will learn evaluation theory with GIS, data analytics, research methods, and grant/scientific writing. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the minor, students are highly encouraged to speak with a minor advisor to choose courses. In some cases, students who have taken required minor classes for their major, may choose substitutions in consultation with the minor advisor.
