program evaluation institute

The UCLA Center for Community Learning has established a community-based research institute on program evaluation that will be offered for the third time in Spring 2006.

Fifteen individuals from community based public health non-profits are invited to enroll in a service learning course (Honors 105) “Client-Based Program Evaluation”, taught by UCLA faculty. Fifteen UCLA undergraduate students will also take the class and work with the agency representatives to design and implement a program evaluation study for a current program operating in Los Angeles.

Students will learn how to:

Compare and contrast programs;

Collect information to make important decisions;

Study cost-effectiveness or efficiency;

Study the culture or ethnography of the program;

Compare current programs with current needs;

And much more…
