Curriculum

All MPH degree options require 42 credits of graduate (800 level) public health course work. Thirty (30) of the total credits are completed in program-required courses, and twelve (12) in track required-courses (See table below). The Practicum consists of several applied practice experiences (APEX) which are spread over several courses and a 120-hr minimum practicum/internship.  The Capstone Integrative Learning Experience (CILE) starts in your first term and culminates with a final professional public health-oriented product that is also described and delivered in an oral presentation.
