Who Will Keep the Public Healthy?: Educating Public Health Professionals for the 21st Century
Appendix A
School of Public Health Catalogue Abstraction
SCHOOLS OF PUBLIC HEALTH CATALOG ABSTRACTION SUMMARY
Twenty-nine (n = 29) school of public health catalogues were reviewed. Across these schools, 19 different graduate degrees are available, as shown in Table A-1. Table A-3 shows schools by master’s degree offered; Table A-4 displays schools by doctoral degrees offered. Boxes A-1 through A-5 list the most frequently offered courses among accredited schools in five specialties: Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Environmental and Occupational Health, Community and Behavioral Health, and Health Services Policy and Administration.
At least one course in each of the five core areas (biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, health services administration, and social and behavioral sciences) is required for graduation in all the M.P.H. and Dr.P.H. programs. Most schools require or strongly recommend a field placement or practicum for both the professional and research degrees. The school of public health at the State University of New York at Albany

requires M.P.H. students to undertake two field placement internships while their Dr.P.H. students are required to rotate through four field placement internships.
More than half of the graduate programs require a comprehensive written or oral final examination for both the master and doctoral degrees. Fifteen schools require a comprehensive exam at the master level, an additional 4 schools offer a thesis or final exam option (Table A-2). Twenty-eight of the 29 schools require comprehensive exams at the doctoral level. (Note: Texas A&M does not offer any doctoral-level programs in public health.)
Most schools also require some sort of culminating capstone paper or project that incorporates all aspects of the degree training. For some schools, this final project is an extension of the field placement activity, where the student concludes the fieldwork, captures the experience in a paper, and presents the paper at the conclusion of the degree program.
