As a culminating experience, students are provided the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to synthesize and integrate advanced knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program and to apply theory and principles in a public health project focused on social change. For this project, students will develop a mixed methods study design, including literature review, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, recommendation for culturally appropriate intervention, proposed strategy to identify stakeholders and coalitions, and timeline and budget development. Students will also identify the competencies/learning outcomes they have accomplished throughout the program.
