PBH 494: Field Studies in Public Health

PBH 494 is designed to be a service-learning experience for students during their senior year. Through this experience, students will work through the three core components of knowledge, action and reflection that are essential to service learning. The course will allow students to complete a 100-hour unpaid/paid internship in the local community.

Additionally, this course will allow students to build a personal career portfolio that will be useful to effectively network in order to secure a job and to launch a professional career. Finally, the course will incorporate seminar speakers who will provide stories from the field and give a "call to action" to future public health professionals.

Finally, this course is mostly web-based. Virtual classrooms have been set-up throughout the semester to give students opportunities to ask questions, to review course content and participate in workforce development opportunities. See course schedule for more details.
