About
The mission of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Evaluation program at Western Michigan University is to develop evaluation scholars and practitioners who have deep knowledge of evaluation theory, methodology, and practice as well as superior critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Graduates are prepared to assume positions in business, consulting, government, higher education, international development, nonprofits, elementary and secondary education, and other public and private sectors. Collectively, alumni and current students have published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles since the program’s inception in 2003. In cooperation with The Evaluation Center, the program publishes the peer-reviewed, open-access Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation (JMDE), which has become one of the field’s most subscribed to, widely read, and cited professional publications.
