All MPH students are required to complete an internship with a public health or related agency. While each internship involves different goals and activities, all provide numerous opportunities for students to enrich and expand on one or more of the MPH core competencies and one or more of their concentration-specific competencies. The internship is usually completed in the student’s final term in the program, although it may be started in the third semester or earlier with permission of the supervisory chair. Within each internship experience, students must complete a special project that demonstrates their ability to define an issue, apply methods appropriate to their concentration, and produce results. The special project serves as the basis for a final oral and written report. These final activities of the MPH program are intended to encourage students to understand their projects in the larger context of public health as a cross-disciplinary field and in relation to the competencies expected of all MPH graduates. Student presentations are scheduled on one or two Public Health Days near the end of Fall, Spring and Summer semesters.
