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 learn principles of data collection, probability, and descriptive statistics, before moving on to foundations of inference. Topics will include point and interval estimates for categorical and numerical data, hypothesis testing, and the application of statistical modeling with multivariable linear and logistic regression. Application of methods in public health contexts will be addressed, and students will gain proficiency in evaluating statistical scientific studies. Measurement of health equity and of efforts to reduce inequities will be highlighted.

This course examines the interdependencies and interrelationships of people with the natural and built environment, focusing on population health consequences. Through the analysis of detailed case studies, students examine pressing environmental health challenges, including climate change, water and air pollution, food quality and scarcity, toxins, occupational hazards, and waste production. Students study how social determinants such as poverty and inequality may exacerbate such concerns. Environmental justice serves as a guiding framework as students analyze the impact and potential of policy frameworks.

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 independent study is intended to allow students to supplement their MPH studies in an area of special interest to them. Students choose the topic and complete the independent study under the supervision of a member of the faculty. Objectives and deliverables will vary depending on the topic and approach, agreed upon in advance by the student and faculty. The independent study requires approval of the supervising faculty and the program director.

This course examines social welfare programs and policies that affect the nonelderly poor in the u.s., emphasizing how they have evolved over the last five decades and how they might be reformed so as to further reduce poverty. the course emphasizes understanding what we know from social science research about the strengths and weaknesses and the intended and unintended effects of these policies and how they are influenced by and how they affect labor market outcomes and family structure.

Focusing on a series of specific cases that exemplify the range of current economic policies, the course examines the various policies through a framework that: examines the policy's rationale, actual methods, and actual effects; evaluates the desirability of the effects; and considers alternative approaches. specific cases reviewed aim to be representative of the range of current economic policies and will also depend on anticipated interests of students.

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. Students will meet independently with instructors.

This course will prepare students for effective leadership and management in the nonprofit sector, a sector that spans organizations of all types and sizes and is a vital partner with the for profit and government sectors both nationally and internationally. The course will examine the nonprofit sector from historical, legal, societal, social entrepreneurial and social marketing perspectives and will address the skills required to lead a mission-based, nonprofit organization. There is a strong emphasis on the ethical underpinnings of nonprofit organizations and their applications; the differences between nonprofit and for profit organizations and how these differences drive decision making. Nonprofit-specific areas that are covered include the roles and responsibilities of boards of directors, fundraising and financial development, management of volunteer programs, financial structures, accountability, strategic planning and organizational growth.

Designed to give you an enjoyable and rigorous introduction to the ideas and practice of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Regardless of the type of organization (profit, nonprofit) or its stage of development (established or new venture), the entrepreneurial spirit of individuals and teams is a key to recognizing and then acting on new opportunities. In the course, we will explore the realm of creativity tools and techniques that can be applied at the individual and team level, including mindfulness and group idea generating techniques. We will put these in context as we think through how organizations innovate new products and industries. Students will then take these ideas to create a first stage business model and learn how to pitch that model in presentation and through an executive summary. Whether or not you are an entrepreneur, think it might be an interesting career path someday, or simply want to understand more about how to bring creativity and innovation to your managerial practice, do join us. All graduate students welcome. This course serves as the first in the concentration in entrepreneurship for those so interested.
