Electives
Ten hours of MSPH elective credit is awarded for completion of two clinical rotations in public health settings (local health departments, Bureau of Prisons. USPHS clinics, Indian Health Services, rural health centers, etc.). While fulfilling requirements for the clinical rotation, in order to receive elective credit in the MSPH program students must also propose and complete a “Public Health Synthesis” project, which includes public health research, health education programs, or other activities which focus on the broader concerns of public health within which public health clinicians operate.
