Procedures for Designating Interdisciplinary Public Health Concentration Competencies
All MPH concentrations accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) require that graduates demonstrate at least five competencies in addition to the foundational competencies common to all CEPH-accredited MPH programs. As an individualized concentration, Interdisciplinary Public Health Studies students have the opportunity to pursue a set of competencies that reflect their individual career goals.
Students work with their academic advisor to select five competencies and approved coordinating courses from the list of concentration courses across the areas of Social & Behavioral Sciences; Epidemiology, and Health Policy & Management.
Once identified, the student and academic advisor map a plan for degree completion, based on course availability. The advisor enters the selected courses into the student’s Plan of Study matrix which includes all selected courses and chosen competencies in the student’s individualized concentration.
Choose any three of the following 3-credit hour elective courses or from the concentration course offerings for a total of 9 credit hours. Students may also select ANY concentration courses outside of their focus.
