Capstone Seminar

Catalog description

This course, taken in the fall semester of the senior year, gives the student the opportunity to apply skills and knowledge gained in the public health program to an authentic public health problem or issue. The student will collaborate with peers to research and present a case study to a panel of guest judges from the community. Students will identify and define a need or problem, find data to establish the magnitude of the problem within the population and identify evidence-based interventions aimed at reducing or ameliorating the problem. This course also provides professional development preparation and grant proposal writing experience. Prerequisite: Senior standing.
