Master's Thesis and Collaborative Research in Environmental Health
EH 508
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
The objective of the practicum is to allow Environmental Health Masters of Science students to integrate what they have learned and apply this knowledge in the evaluation of a problem of importance.
You must first develop a proposal for an independent research project, with an identified faculty member as an approved advisor for this project. The advisor could be one of the course instructors, but generally involves other faculty members at the Harvard Chan School.
The project must be well-defined, well-executed, must demonstrate knowledge of the chosen area of research, and should clearly describe the findings in the scope of the wider literature. Given the relatively short amount of time available for completion of the thesis, a clear presentation of gaps in your current work and potential future directions may be as important as the analysis itself.
Registration Note: Restricted to second year EH-SM2 students.
