public health departments, consulting and pharmaceutical companies,
as well as federal, state, and local government agencies). Students
enrolled in the Masters program within HPA
choose one of two tracks:
Teaching objectives of the division include:
- Provide students with a set of skills and principles essential
for practice in health policy, health management, and public health.
- Enhance students' abilities to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency
and equity of health policies and programs, using rigorous research
techniques and analytical reasoning.
- Provide opportunities for students to apply their newly developed
skills and reasoning abilities to real-life health policy and
health management problems, through community project experiences,
the summer internship, and the thesis.
- Educate students about the breadth and determinants of health and how to affect them through policy.
