Certificate Educational Objective
To assist students in developing skills and competencies for careers in both community-based public health practice and research, particularly for applications in underserved urban settings.
Pedagogy
• Experiential Learning and Service-Learning– Recommended by ASPH as most effective
techniques to train public health practitioners
• Experiential Learning: Students learn through the practical application of new knowledge, skills and attitudes
Pedagogy
Service-Learning (SL):
“…a structured learning experience that combines community service with preparation and reflection. Students engaged in SL provide community service in response to community-identified concerns and learn about the context in which service is provided, the connection between their service and their academic coursework, and their roles as citizens.”
