Masters in Public Health Capstone

Catalog description

The School of Health Services Administration at LECOM requires all Master of Public Health (MPH) students to complete an Integrated Learning Experience (ILE), known as the Capstone Project. The Capstone Project represents the student's culminating academic experience, in which the MPH student synthesizes, integrates, and applies the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program. All research and completed assignments associated with the Capstone Project are conducted and submitted online. The Capstone Project must demonstrate mastery of both foundational and concentration competencies. As a signature requirement of the program, students are expected to present their completed research at LECOM Research Day, held each spring. This presentation takes the form of a recorded poster presentation and a brief overview of the student's research, allowing students to showcase their work and contribute to the broader scholarly community at LECOM — all completed remotely in keeping with the fully online nature of the program.
