PH 480 - Independent Practicum Fieldwork

2 credit(s)
Combines field-based learning with development of a related senior project. Students complete a 100-hour practicum in an approved placement under the supervision of an agency staff member in consultation with a Public Health faculty member, providing the opportunity to integrate theoretical and applied learning in a community setting. Students complete a learning agreement to guide their individualized learning experiences and maintain a field journal reflecting on progress toward individual learning objectives. This course, in combination with PH 481 and PH 491, is an alternative path to completing the capstone, fieldwork, and seminar requirements for the major under certain circumstances. See the department chair for details.
Prerequisite(s): Declared Public Health major and instructor consent.
