Reviews arithmetic, including percents, proportion, and geometric formulae. Covers equations polynomials, rational expressions, and problem solving.

Covers analytic geometry, functions, limits and continuity, and differential calculus. Includes applications to extrema, physical problems, etc.

Covers integral calculus and applications to area, volume, etc.; transcendental functions; techniques of integration; polar coordinates; and improper integrals. Students may not take both MATH 121 and MATH 123.

This course will review and deepen the understanding of the fundamental principles of single variable calculus. Intended for students with previous exposure to the computational techniques and applications of calculus. Will cover standard topics in both differential and integral calculus at a conceptual depth sufficient to progress to multivariable calculus. Students may not take both Math 121 and Math 123. Completion of Math 123 is equivalent to completion of the Math 120 - Math 121 sequence; Math 123 satisfies any pre-requisite which needs either Math 120 or Math 121.

We will then discuss and prove the foundational theorems for the real line, and give a rigorous treatment of differential and integral calculus of functions of a real variable.

Covers assigning probabilities, combinatorial methods, conditional probability, independence, Bayes's Theorem, discrete random variables and special discrete probability distributions, continuous random variables and special continuous distributions, and addition theorems.

This course defines and examines the history of the foundational concepts of health equity, social justice, and human rights. Students explore key cases of inequity and injustice occurring locally, nationally, and globally and apply a public health analytical lens to these challenges. This course also provides an overview and professional orientation to public health, its history, core concepts, functions and activities, professional ethics, and how it relates to and differentiates from other health professions.

This course introduces students to the principles and core concepts of epidemiology (the study of determinants and distribution of diseases in a population). Students will learn conceptual and practical issues in designing and analyzing data from epidemiologic studies. Students learn foundational concepts, including chains of transmission, disease outbreak investigation, study designs, prevalence and incidence rates, risk ratios, bias and confounding, and screening models and considerations. Students learn to critically evaluate scientific studies and gain skills in effectively presenting research findings.

This course engages a social-ecological model to examine determinants of health at multiple levels, including biological, behavioral and cultural, social and community-based, environmental, occupational, and institutional. Through a root cause analysis of morbidity and mortality trends, students identify sociostructural determinants of health and analyze systems of oppression that produce and reproduce health inequities. These include disadvantages and marginalization based on race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, nationality, and other factors.

This course introduces students to statistical methods for public health practice. Students will review descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, and bivariate techniques briefly before moving on to the application of multivariate regression analysis to prediction and causal models. Sampling and power analysis in public health contexts will be addressed, and students will gain proficiency in evaluating statistical scientific studies.

In this course, students assess and evolve their own leadership style, strengths, and potential. Students develop a skill set for managing and building effective teams for public health programming. Students also learn management skills for project, program, and organizational development, including strategic planning, budgeting, grant writing and donor education, quality assurance, and communication.

This course prepares students with skills of community organizing and health advocacy. Students learn key concepts and strategies, including base building, framing, assessing opportunity structure, goal setting, and effective health advocacy techniques. Students explore case studies and oral histories illuminating various models of change, including social movements, social innovation, social entrepreneurship, microdevelopment, and people-centered budgeting. Students critically analyze past innovations and identify opportunities to address health inequities and power imbalances shaping community health.

This introductory course provides students with the foundations to begin planning the Health Equity Change Project, encompassing the applied practicum and integrative learning experience. During this course, students start the process of seeking a practicum placement, practicing important career preparatory skills such as professional résumé and cover letter development, professional networking, and interviewing skills. Students select guiding public health competencies and develop associated practicum goals and objectives aligned with the mission and vision of the placement organization of their choice.

This course provides students with the necessary ethical and structural tools to design their Health Equity Change Project (HECP), encompassing the applied practicum and integrative learning experience. Students frame and analyze their practicum objectives from an ethical perspective and create a logic model to approach their practicum from a realistic perspective. Ultimately, students develop and submit a final HECP proposal that builds upon their learning across the curriculum and that will guide their applied practice and integrative learning experience in the final terms of the program. This proposal serves as the basis for program approval to begin the HECP experience in subsequent terms.

This course serves as the first in a two-course sequence that incorporates the integrative learning and practice experience for the MPH degree. Through an applied practicum experience across two terms, students gain skills in designing, implementing, and evaluating a project to address a health inequity. In this course, students define and assess a health equity challenge, typically within their local context, in consultation with their practicum supervisor and community and organizational partners. This work culminates in a written project proposal, including an implementation and evaluation plan.

This course builds a foundation of health and human rights law on which students may develop analyses and responses to health inequities and social injustices, thus developing their health equity practice. The course examines US law across the three branches of government and the government�s constitutional powers, duties, and limitations for intervention in issues of public health. The course then explores international law, emphasizing the international system of human rights and the interplay between human rights and systems of global governance. Throughout the course students will apply legal frameworks to past and contemporary social injustices, especially focusing on racial inequities, to build practical skills for advocacy and engagement with these systems.

Special Topics Course. Subject will vary by semester.

The goal of this course is to provide policy researchers and practitioners with a set of conceptual frameworks for analyzing the political environment of public policy and policy research, and to practice forming effective strategies for policy analysis, program evaluation, policy design, and advocacy. in other words, this course will enhance our understanding of what happens in the policy process when policies are formulated and implemented and our participation in the policy process now and in the future.

This course introduces students to multivariate statistical methods for public policy analysis, covering multiple regression, logistic regression, and power analysis. students are assumed to have completed an introductory statistics course as a prerequisite for this course. Students will use SPSS, a statistical package for the social sciences.

This course is a capstone of a student's graduate education and an introduction into the professional practice of public policy analysis. during the semester, you will draw on the tools and expertise garnered from prior coursework to analyze one or more important public policy problems. on the basis of that analysis, the student will then develop recommendations for dealing with those problems to a client official or agency. All projects available for this semester are for real clients, addressing real policy issues. You will be expected to complete the project on time, demonstrating high, professional standards.
