Causal Inference Workshop
This 14-week workshop designed for the students in the PhD program in Sustainable Development covers the fundamental theory and techniques of causal inference. Specifically tailored to students trained in econometrics and positioned to conduct interdisciplinary research, it systematically ties back the econometrics approaches covered to the underlying statistical framework and provides the students with the tools to conduct rigorous empirical analyses, and share and defend their approach in front of both economics and non-economics audiences. Lower-year students learn the fundamental methods for observational studies, upper-year students discuss how they employ them in their own current research. Participants are presented with the most common methods in the field, their limitations, and best practices, and introduced to underused statistical methods for causal inference.

Incorporating Genetics and Genomics in A
INC GENETICS & GENOMICS
This course is intended to provide a strong foundation in the concepts of genetics and clinical applicability of genomic concepts commonly seen in advance practice nurses’ clinical practice. Both classical Mendelian and molecular genetics will be examined, in order to provide a knowledge base that will enable the advanced practice nurse to integrate genetic and genomic knowledge into clinical practice. Using a case discussion approach, clinical issues of genetics testing, genetic exceptionalism, individualized risk assessments and predictions are explored throughout their life span.

Capstone: Critical Thinking and Analysis
CRITICAL THINK/ANALYSIS I
Critical Thinking and Analysis in Environmental Health Sciences is a culminating experience for EHS students in which they will synthesize the knowledge and experiences they have gained in their MPH core, department specialization and certificate coursework. The primary objective of this course is to enable students to critically examine and analyze a body of scientific knowledge and to effectively communicate such knowledge to lay and scientific audiences. An interactive, highly participatory experience, it typically focuses, in depth, on one or two topics within the field of Environmental Health Science that are of current national and international interest and represent a major human public health concern. The Capstone course will reinforce fundamental concepts acquired through prior departmental and certificate based coursework related to the underlying scientific basis of human health concerns arising from environmental exposure. The pedagogical approach of this course will utilize a combination of outside reading, didactic instruction, engaging class discussion and team-based learning. Students will be required to critically evaluate current knowledge and present, both orally and in writing, the broad outlines and specific aims of a research proposal to address critical gaps in understanding. At the completion of this course, students are expected to be able to critically evaluate and assess scientific evidence as well as successfully conceptualize, create and defend a research proposal. The ability to communicate research concepts and clear, cogent and well thought out research proposals, either orally and written, are essential for many students preparing entry into the workforce, whether in government service, profit or non-profit corporations, academia, scientific research, policy and planning, administration or regulatory affairs. Graduating EHS MPH students are expected to have considerable facility in public speaking skills, interpretation of scientific literature, critical thinking and analysis of published research findings. Each semester, in consultation with the class, a relevant and timely topic is selected to examine in depth. Creation of a NIEHS-style grant application concerning a previously unaddressed topic is an important component of this class.

THEOR-TRANSMISSN/COMMUN FORMN
TRANSMISSION
This is a course designed for first- and second-year graduate students who are interested in the issue of community formation, lineage, genealogy, transmission, and translation, whether textual or cultural. Course texts will be a combination of theoretical interventions and case studies drawn from major religious traditions. The learning goals of the course are the following: (1) to introduce seminal interpretive and/or methodological issues in the contemporary study of transmission; (2) to read several theoretical “classics” in the field, to provide a foundation for further reading; (3) to sample, where possible, new writing in the field; and (4) to encourage students to think of ways in which the several issues and authors surveyed might provide models for their own ongoing research work.

Measurement in Nursing Research
MEASUREMENT IN NURS RESEA
In this foundational course students will study the links between theory and the psychosocial and biophysical measures used in nursing research. Students will employ the principles of classical test theory and item response theory to evaluate the reliability and validity of measurement. Application of computational techniques will be covered in the lab portion of the course. Course topics include types and uses of measures, item/scale development and validation, survey methods, reporting for publication, and the relationships between measurement and research ethics, cultural competency, and health disparities.

Writing for the Screen
Revision
A great TV series starts with a great pilot episode. You have one chance to intrigue an audience and stand out from hundreds of other series—599 were released in 2022, and that only includes the English language releases! This course will share the building blocks needed to write the next compelling series, starting with the pilot. Not all buyers want to read a finished pilot, but as the creator, you’ll need to know your pilot inside out and become an expert in your series’ genre if you want to sell it. This course will be a combination of pilot outlining and scene writing with an exploration of character and theme. All this through the lens of the marketplace and your authentic, lived experience—the magic combination for a winning series. We will workshop your outlines and scenes in class. Any assigned readings, screenings, and exercises will be focused as much as possible on inspiring material that relates to your pilot/series idea.
This course will support you if you want to write a full pilot script. However, the main objective is to finish the course having written a pilot outline and key scenes, as well as other material that's vital to a successful pilot and series such as character and season one breakdowns. You should come to the first class with at least two original logline/elevator pitches for series ideas to which you have a strong personal connection.
Existing ideas that you feel would benefit from this coursework are also welcome.

Master's Essay Research I
MASTERS ESSAY RESEARCH I
The Master's Thesis is one of the options for a capstone requirement of all students in all tracks of the MPH program of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS). The thesis is intended to reflect the training you have received in the MPH program and demonstrate your ability to design, analyze, research and present scholarly writing relevant to your major field of interest.
Writing the thesis is an essential experience that could further your career development and or an application for further studies in academia. Employers seek in potential employees with a MPH degree the ability to write articles and reports, and want to see evidence that you can design studies, analyze data, and write scientific papers. If you plan to continue your academic studies, developing expertise and demonstrating your ability as a writer are two important skills required of doctoral candidates. A well-written paper is a great asset that you can bring with you to a job interview or include in an application for further study. The thesis ought to demonstrate your ability to think clearly and convey your thoughts effectively and thereby provide an example of your understanding and insight into a substantive area in which you have developed expertise.

ADVANCED METHODS IN NURSING RESEARCH
ADV METHODS IN NURS RESEA
Building upon the foundational knowledge acquired in the quantitative and qualitative research method courses, this course will introduce advanced research methods in nursing research. It explores three pivotal areas in nursing research: Health Services Research, Omics Research, and Data Science Research. Students will learn theoretical principles or frameworks for the three advanced methods, and critically review the commonly used research methods. Additionally, the course examines the interplay between science, policy, and healthcare delivery and identifies critical questions shaping the future policy research agenda.
