Applied Practice Experience for MPH Generalist

ID 946A Subject & Catalog Number

Description

All students completing a Master of Public Health degree in accredited schools of public health in the US must complete an Applied Practice Experience (“Practicum”). This required course is designed to provide some tools and insights that will be useful in future professional practice; assist MPH Generalist students in identifying and completing a practicum experience that will be of value to their professional development; share that experience with their MPH Generalist colleagues via a “peer-to-peer” joint learning experience.
 
This is a year-long course worth a total of 2.5 credits (1.25 in the spring of the first academic year and 1.25 in the fall of the second academic year).
 
Grade Note: ID 946 is comprised of two parts: Part A in the Spring of the first year and Part B in the Fall of the second year. The grade and 2.5 credits are only reflected on the transcript after students have completed both Part A and Part B in the Fall. At the end of the Spring term, students will receive an “IP” (“In Progress”) grade in ID 946A. When the Fall grades are posted, the student’s final grade will replace the “IP” grade on the transcript, and the transcript will reflect the full 2.5 credits.
 
Course Requirements: Course restricted to MPH-GEN students. This is a required course.
