Public Health Capstone Seminar

Catalog description

Capstone is a culminating academic experience in which students demonstrate their command of the MPH coursework by assessing and analyzing past and present public health challenges and how they were or are being handled. Students are expected to synthesize, integrate and apply skills and competencies acquired through their program of study to a public health problem that approximates a professional practice experience. The project requires both a written and oral assignment. It is typically completed in the last term of the program, usually in conjunction with the completion of a fieldwork practicum experience.
