CURRENTLY BEING EDITED, NOT FINAL
Experience applied practice, take the qualifying exam, integrate your learning, and graduate!
EDIT The DrPH program of studies is intended to be an individually designed program that makes it possible for students to develop the course of study that best fulfills their unique needs, with the advice of their Faculty Advisor and doctoral committee. We recognize that the students recruited into the program have experience in the field of public health or similar disciplines and have career directions that may vary tremendously, including policy development and services, senior leadership positions, applied research, and other foci. Students will be expected to graduate with not only excellent methodological skills, but also a wider and deeper understanding of public health and their individual area of focus.
