All MPH students must complete an Integrative Learning Experience (ILE) which demonstrates a synthesis of foundational and program competencies. The requirements are designed to meet the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) requirements. Students in consultation with a faculty academic or project adviser should select experiences and competencies that are appropriate for the student's academic and professional goals.
For program specific options and requirements, visit your program guidebooks.
