INCM 9250: International Project Management and Program Evaluation

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: INCM 9102 or INCM 9103
This course provides an opportunity for the student to obtain the fundamental skills related to international project management and program evaluation. These skills include working in cross-cultural contexts, working with diverse groups, and managing conflicts within and among international stakeholders. A substantial amount of time in this class is spent on developing the skills of grant writing, fundraising, project identification, design, monitoring, implementation techniques and evaluation research. This practicum-like team experience allows the students to envision an international project and write a grant that could support and provide for an evaluation of the project. The course also builds skills in program analysis, including causal effects of interventions and outcomes, instrument evaluation in international conflict management areas, quality control, risk assessment, and impact analysis, all of which are integral components of grant submissions.
