Independent Study - 1.5 credit

The Independent Study is available to students who would like to explore a significant research problem related to their professional needs; the nature and extent of this independent study are determined by the student and a faculty sponsor. In certain instances, professional work at an internship or other engagement may be appropriate for academic credit through the Independent Study; this should also be determined with the guidance of a faculty member.For the Independent Study, students are required to meet with the faculty sponsor a minimum of two times: once, for an initial planning discussion, and again in the middle of the semester to confirm that the project is on track. The student must provide written confirmation of this second meeting, signed by the faculty sponsor, to the Office of Student Affairs. Students are expected to commit to the original project plan approved by the faculty sponsor; any change to the topic or scope of the project must be agreed to by the professor prior to the midpoint of the semester. Students who fail to obtain this approval risk not receiving academic credit for the course.The student may register for an independent study only once in a term; the course may be taken for either 1.5 or 3 credits. The independent study is designed to be independent of the classroom experience; it may not be used asa means of adding a seat to a course with a full capacity.No more than six credits of Independent Study will be counted toward the MBA degree. (For dual degree students, the maximum number of independent study credits is 3.) The number of allowable Independent Study credits may be lower if the student has also taken B9002 Field Studies or cross-registered. For details, follow the degree requirements links at the bottom of the screen.Students should bring a completed Independent Study Application form, signed by the faculty sponsor, to the Office of Student Affairs prior to registration for the course.

The U.S. Healthcare Industry

The U.S. healthcare system is an enormously complex, trillion-dollar industry. It includes thousands of hospitals, nursing homes, specialized care facilities, independent practices and partnerships, web-based and IT supported service companies, managed care organizations, and major manufacturing corporations. Healthcare is the fastest growing component of many consulting practices and investment portfolios. In dollar terms, it accounts for over 18% of GDP and is larger than the total economy of Italy. It continues to grow in size and complexity, complicating the long-standing problems of increasing costs, limited consumer access, and inconsistent quality. And, the historic Affordable Care Act has resulted in significant changes throughout the entire industry and will have major implications for years to come. This tremendous dynamism is unmatched by any other industry and offers incredible opportunities for new business endeavors."

Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Manage

Wks in Appld Earth Syst Mgmt I

This intensive summer workshop is the first in a three-part sequence designed to provide MPA-ESP students with practical experience in interdisciplinary environmental problem-solving. Students work in faculty-advised teams to develop a management strategy for implementing an environmental statute or international agreement not yet in effect. Emphasis is placed on translating scientific understanding into actionable policy and operational plans. The summer term focuses on the scientific basis of the policy challenge, enabling students to communicate complex environmental science to non-scientific stakeholders and decision-makers.

Students assume defined project roles, such as project managers, deputy managers, and task leaders—and are responsible for producing a series of group outputs, including a legislative summary, scientific analysis of the environmental problem, evaluation of the proposed solution, and measurement indicators of program success. Faculty assign projects and roles, guide group management, and evaluate individual and team performance. A strong focus is placed on professional skill-building, collaborative writing, memo and report development, and oral briefings. Students are expected to attend all sessions, meet frequent deadlines, and engage fully in team-based work under real-world conditions.

This workshop is a required core course for MPA-ESP students, preparing them for the Fall Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Management II and the Spring Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Policy Analysis.

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.
