The academic year is moving rapidly and it is already time for many students to enroll into our two summer courses. The two summer courses are:
1. MPH 6005: African American Health
2. MPH 6009: Capstone Experience in Ethnic Health and Health Disparities
During the Summer I session, students can take our MPH 6005 African American Health course. This course is a comprehensive, holistic and sociocultural perspective focusing on national, regional, state, county and local African American health and health disparity issues leading toward developing public health interventions. This is a fast-paced course which last approximately 5 1/2 weeks and students are usually surprised how much material we cover in such a condensed period of time.
During the regular Summer session (10 weeks), students can take our MPH 6009 Capstone Experience in Ethnic Health and Health Disparities course. This course integrates the critical thinking concepts, research strategies, public health skill sets, and culturally competent training culminating in a final research project/proposal. Final research project/proposal will be evaluated by the Ethnic Health and Health Disparities Capstone Faculty Committee.
Once students complete and pass their MPH 6009 Capstone Experience in Ethnic Health and Health Disparities course (the last course in our program), they are completed with the ERHD Certificate and become an ERHD Graduate!
