Emphasis is on sources of exposures, effects on human health, and methods of limiting exposures and effects. 3 credit hours
Fall/Spring This course encourages students to critically examine how ethnicity and culture impacts health and to explore the individual and structural factors contributing to health disparities. The relationship of how prejudice and discrimination as well as neighborhood and community contribute to health disparities is discussed.

Fall/Spring In this course we will examine the social nature of health, illness, and medicine. Focus will be on how a person’s life shapes their likelihood of achieving good health and susceptibility to illness and understanding the social factors that shape health. Exploration of the social patterning of health, longevity, and disease in the US with in the context of: Who avoids illness and who does not? Who is at increased risk of dying prematurely? Exploration of social and environmental factors shaping public health with in the context of: How does the context of a person’s life (where they live, who they are friends with, if they are married, if they work, their gender and sexual orientation) shape health? 3 credit hours

Major topics addressed will include the structure and function of the public health system in the United States, how those functions are provided for by law and financed by governments; the structure of the health care delivery system and how it relates to the public health system; policy design and implementation and the role of government in that design. 3 credit hours
Fall/Spring The culmination of Public Health coursework sets the groundwork for this capstone course. The course requires students to broaden their knowledge by synthesizing program content into public health decision‐making, multidisciplinary collaboration, and evidence based public health practices. This course serves as an important bridge between the classroom and the world of professional practice. 3 credit hours
Fall/Spring A healthcare administration internship is a short‐term, public health‐related work experience designed to allow students to gain meaningful, pre‐professional work experience in their field of interest prior to graduation. Internships require students to meet periodically with a faculty supervisor, provide a written deliverable, and participate in an end‐of‐internship evaluation. Grading will be Pass/Fail.
Junior standing and departmental approval of each student participant’s individual program. Students must have earned 60 or more credits and a minimum of 2.5 cumulative grade point average at the time of application. 3 credit hours
