MPH 509 Individual Capstone Project focuses on the practical application of public health
foundational and concentration competencies in a project. This course requires an individual
major research paper or thesis (Capstone Project), through which the student demonstrates
learning and skills developed during their Master of Public Health (MPH) program. Students are
provided a Capstone Manual with explicit guidance for the Capstone Project. This course may
not be taken until all other core MPH courses are completed and the student has garnered a 3.0
GPA.
