Program details
Overview
Offered online by UVic's School of Public Administration, this course-based certificate is built for new and mid-career evaluators. Over roughly one to two years of part-time study, participants explore qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods and culturally responsive approaches, building competencies aligned with the Canadian Evaluation Society and current debates in the field.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program's own page states only that the minimum requirement for funding consideration is an A- average over the last two years of course work; it sets out no separate admission-GPA threshold and instead directs applicants to the university's minimum course requirements in the graduate calendar and to UVic's general admission requirements, which ask for a recognised bachelor's degree. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet UVic's graduate language-proficiency requirement, either IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0 or TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with no section below 4.0 (UVic's scale for tests taken from January 2026); individual programs may set a higher bar. No portfolio, interview or specified work-experience threshold is stated for this certificate; a background in program evaluation or a related field is described as an asset, not a requirement.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
