The Public Health Capstone course represents a culminating experience in your undergraduate degree. This writing-intensive course leverages students' analytic abilities gained throughout their undergraduate career to analyze real-world problems and propose a solution. Through the lens of a Community Health Needs Assessment, students will utilize secondary data to characterize health needs in the community, identify opportunities to dismantle constituent components of structural racism and other determinants of inequities, and conduct a literature review on an identified health need of interest, explicating its determinants. Students will synthesize evidence around programs, policies, and interventions aimed to meet that need. The course will focus on the generation and use of evidence-based public health practice, writing in a professional context, and will feature guest experts who discuss public health and their path into the field.
