PUBLIC HEALTH INTERNSHIP

Catalog description

Internship and fieldwork is required for all Public Health Majors. This course is a traditional internship with an additional classroom element to expose students to both fieldwork and a "senior-capstone" experience geared towards starting a career in the field of Public Health. Students are required to complete 200 hours; 175 hours will be completed on-site, while the other 25 hours are made up of traditional class room time (5 to 6 classes) and completion of several assignments relating to their internship and future career in the field of public health. Students pursuing a GERO certificate may use this course for both as long as the facility/organization specializes in treating the elderly.
