Master's Project

The Master's Project is a major research paper. Its purpose is to have students demonstrate: familiarity with the tools of research or scholarship in the field of public health; the ability to work independently; and the ability to effectively present, in written form, the results of their investigation. Students may select topics as a result of prior experience, field experience, coursework, or other meaningful and relevant area of interest.
