Capstone

Students are required to complete a Capstone paper, choosing from one of three options.  They may:

  • Prepare a manuscript of publishable quality (e.g. a research article or a review article in journal format, or a book chapter);
  • Write a proposal narrative, including an executive summary, for a major service-based research or evaluation project aimed at a specific funding agency or foundation; or
  • Write a rigorous reflective paper about the practice of public health service delivery (based upon one’s practicum).

SMS Students complete a Masters Integrative Project.  They may write a:

 

  • Review Article;
  • Research Proposal;
  • Evaluation Proposal; or
  • Health Initiative.

The SMS Handbook contains additional details about that Department’s MPH requirements.
