MPH 231 - Culminating Experience


Semester Hours: 3
All MPH students are required to complete a culminating experience. The culminating experience is an independent learning experience designed to demonstrate your skills in searching and synthesizing the peer reviewed literature and conceptualizing or conducting independent research to address an important public health topic.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
MPH 200 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 221 , 222 , 230 . The culminating experience will require students to write a federal grant proposal within a 72-hour time frame, and must be completed at least three weeks before the end of the semester in which the student intends to graduate. The process may begin after the seventh week of the last semester of the program. The grant writing assignment may be waived by obtaining the adviser’s permission to write and submit a paper to a peer-reviewed journal (the student must be first author and have done the majority of the research and writing). Another acceptable substitution is for the student to present research either at the American Public Health Association or the State Public Health Association annual meeting, or a comparable professional meeting. For substitutions, the student must have the permission of his or her adviser.
