School-wide 2nd Year DRPH Seminar

2 Credits.

Assists 2nd year DrPH students mastering skills related to study design and implementation, as preparation for work on their dissertation proposal. During the course of the year, this seminar series focuses on epistemology, alternative study designs, and how different study designs may best be suited to address different types of research questions. The course builds upon other methods classes and supports students to develop a draft research proposal of their own. While the course is designed to prepare students for their dissertation work, students can complete the course without having decided upon a dissertation topic.
