Course Title: Evaluation Research
Campus Course Code: URPA 5345
Campus: UT Arlington
Program: MPA
Course Description

This course provides the student with an overview of public policy analysis and program evaluation-- what it is, how to do it, and most important, how to critically assess studies others have done. Although the course will examine both quantitative and qualitative methods for analyzing public policies, emphasis will be placed on quantitative methods and students should have completed an introductory statistics and methodology course (SUPA 5302). While some statistical material will be covered, emphasis will be placed on discussion of research strategies, designs, and interpretation of results.
