Research and Evaluation is a one-year Ontario College Graduate Certificate program designed for students to hone their technical skills in research and evaluation. Students will learn to plan, conduct, measure and report on research to support decision-making.

 

Applying research to make a real difference is an increasingly necessary part of working in the not-for-profit and public sectors. The Research and Evaluation program will help you apply your research interests in real-world settings, such as social agencies, healthcare, education and the private sector while honing your technical skills and cross-disciplinary perspectives. 

 

In just one year, you will develop sought-after skills in research design, data analysis and the professional issues involved in measuring the performance of projects, policies and programs. Learn to plan, conduct, measure and report on research and to support decisions through data analysis and interpretation.

 

Students explore diverse social science research methods and apply them with the aim of program evaluation and optimization.
