M.P.H. Practice Sites

We have secured practicum affiliation agreements with local, national, and international public health sites.

The Practicum is a 135-hour practical public health experience in an organization that provides public health services. The Practicum is required for the M.P.H. degree, and it may be completed any semester during the year or span up to three semesters. The practicum course is PH 594: Applied Practice Experience.

Students can also request a practicum site without an existing affiliation agreement, but this must be done a minimum of three months in advance of the practicum start date to ensure that a working agreement can be established. The Assistant Director and/or APEx Faculty Advisor must approve the location.
