Foundations of Public Health

Catalog description

All incoming students must enroll in PHP 2000 : Foundations of Public Health. This online, asynchronous, self-paced, non-credit, and no-cost course provides a broad overview of the field of public health as required by the School of Public Health’s accrediting body, the Council on Education for Public and Health (CEPH). Students are encouraged to enroll in the course as soon as registration opens and, if possible, to finish it before their credit-bearing courses begin. Devoting this approximately one-week period to the course will enable them to acquire foundational knowledge that will support them in their coursework and lower the burden of their workload during the semester. Students are expected to complete PHP 2000 by the end of their first semester.
