Certificate in Grant Writing and Program Evaluation
9 Credit Hours
Grants from government and private sources provide important supplemental funding to schools, hospitals, law enforcement agencies and many other social service agencies. Sociology Programs offer one of the few undergraduate grant proposal writing and program evaluation programs in the nation.
The skills you gain will make you better prepared to seek out and apply for grants of all kinds. Additionally, specialized training in grant writing can increase your employment potential greatly, as employers recognize the value and financial benefit of well-trained grant proposal writers. This 9-credit hour certificate program is only available online.
If you are not interested in receiving college credit for grant writing training or you need to ramp up your skills more quickly, you may be interested in the self-paced Eight-Week Grant Writing Program, which offers CEU credit.
