Community Health, Graduate Certificate
|
|
The Graduate Certificate Program in Community Health contributes to the preparation of community and public health practitioners to take the Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) examination. The certificate also is available to students who wish to complement an existing degree in a health profession (e.g.,. health psychology, nursing, or social work), or who wish to explore a career in public health. This certificate complements (i.e., is not redundant with, can be completed in addition to) the Graduate Certificate in Public Health Core Concepts .

Certificate Requirements
The program leading to a Graduate Certificate in Community Health requires a minimum of 15 credit hours of graduate credit including 9 hours of core courses and two additional elective courses (6 credit hours).
Core Courses (9 credit hours)
Elective Courses (6 credit hours)
The remaining 6 credit hours are chosen by students in consultation with their assigned academic advisor and/or Graduate Program Coordinator from among available departmental offerings. Courses from outside the Department of Public Health Sciences may be substituted with the written permission of the Graduate Program Coordinator.
Students not demonstrating prior undergraduate or graduate coursework comparable to HLTH 6200 - Introduction to Public Health will be required to take this course as one of their electives.
Credits applied toward the Graduate Certificate in Public Health Core Concepts cannot also be applied to this certificate. Additionally, transfer credits are not accepted in this certificate program. Completion of the certificate program does not ensure admission into the MSPH degree program.
