Overview

The Program Evaluation and Data Analytics MSc from Arizona State University combines courses in program evaluation that provide tools to assess policy or program impact with data science classes that empower students to utilize a diverse array of data sources in new and exciting ways.

Students receive training in data programming, visualization, dashboard design, open data, project management and impact analysis. Through this, students build the technical skills necessary to implement evidence-based approaches to policy and management.

Unlike other data scientist degrees, this program is built using public sector and nonprofit examples. Students do not need a background in computer programming before starting the degree. Through individualized attention and a project-based curriculum, students develop expertise in performance and evaluation frameworks for social change.

Career Opportunities

Program evaluation spans many fields and industries. These include educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, health care facilities, government programs and more. Options for employment are diverse for graduates who have a deepened capacity for program evaluation. Career titles with program evaluation as a central component of their role include:

chief data officer
