component of the M.P.H. degree. The M.P.H. Applied Practice Experience (PRAC 0715) is a zero (0) credit course that connects the

of the practice of public health. The Applied Practice Experience should
provide the student with the opportunity to acquire, develop, and improve
communication skills, project management skills, and problem-solving skills
using public health methods, principles, and techniques. Moreover, it promotes
hands-on public health practice, the exploration of career options, and
generates contacts with other public health professionals.
