MPH 6048 - Public Health Practicum II

In combination, the Public Health Practicum I course and Public Health Practicum II course provide a structured and supervised professional experience in an approved public health or community health agency or organization. The practicum provides students with a practical experience through which they have the opportunity to apply and synthesize and integrate knowledge, skills, and competencies gained through coursework in a real-world setting. Practicum II will be comprised of 60 clock hours focused on the implementation and completion of a public health project that is consistent with the student’s career goals and that benefits the agency or organization they have selected for their practical experience. As part of the course, students will complete a critical analysis of the practicum experience. Enrollment in Master of Public Health (MPH) courses requires admission to the MPH program or the approval of the Coordinator of the Master of Public Health program.
