Senior Seminar in Public Health and Wellness

Catalog description

Students in this course are presented with the challenge of integrating the knowledge and skills they have learned in their previous coursework to design, implement, and evaluate a small-scale health intervention, such as a behavior change program or health screening, with a local population. They will prepare an application to a grant-funding agency as part of the process. In addition, students will demonstrate their overall understanding of community and public health through the completion of a written and oral comprehensive exam. In preparation for entry into the profession, students will develop a resume, practice job interviewing skills, and explore graduate school options.
