Capstone: Program Proposal

Catalog description

The Integrated Learning Experience (ILE) is designed to enable MPH students to synthesize learning across their core courses, concentration courses, and practicum experiences. Historically, the Brown School of Public Health has required a thesis for the ILE, however, students may now complete a thesis or a capstone course as their ILE. The thesis is the better option for those who want to conduct academic research with a mentor in an independent study-type format, the capstone course is for those who prefer an applied project in a classroom setting. Program Proposal: Students who opt to take this section of the capstone course will craft a grant proposal for a health-promotion or disease-prevention program. The proposal may request funding for the design, implementation, or evaluation of the intervention.
