| Course Description | The Capstone Paper requires students to demonstrate their abilities to think and communicate clearly, reflect on their new knowledge and training, and make professional contributions to their main fields of interest, with guidance from faculty capstone readers. It serves as the final piece of evidence that the student is prepared to practice as a public health professional. The value of a well-researched and well-written Capstone Paper extends far beyond the MPH degree. Effective organizations depend upon staff members who can design needs assessments, programs, evaluations, and strategic plans, and document them in writing. Policy advocates seek professionals to articulate complicated public health evidence and ideas in briefs, articles, reports, and monographs. Doctoral programs look for students who can conceptualize, analyze, and communicate complex, interdependent health circumstances. Capstone Papers stand as concrete examples of students’ mastery of substantive areas, as well as proof of their competencies in key public health skills. The department will share the Capstone handbook with students, which includes details about the options to meet the Capstone paper requirement. |
