Faculty Spotlight
"Hi, I'm Ana Coghlan. I've been an evaluator for over 25 years, working mostly in international development evaluation with donor agencies, international and local non-governmental organizations, and UN entities in the areas of HIV/AIDS care and prevention, maternal and child health, and agriculture and rural development. I have an M.A. in International Planning and a PhD in Program Evaluation and Planning. What I love about MSU's MA and Certificate in Program Evaluation is the access the programs provide to students and professionals around the world to first-rate evaluation studies. The other thing I love is its intentional mix of evaluation theory and practice, where all the faculty have strong academic backgrounds and extensive real-world work experience in evaluation. Come and join us as we explore how program evaluation can make the world a better place!"
