Students are required to carry out independent research under the direction of a faculty member of the Doctoral Subcommittee on Nutrition.
Internships are an integral part of the student experience at SIPA. Students in the MPA, MIA, MPA-DP, and PEPM degree programs are required to register for and conduct an internship as part of their academic coursework, but all students are encouraged to explore internships as part of their education and career development. Students have the option of registering for a maximum of three internship credits towards their degree. Students who want to earn internship credit for non-research internships will register for SIPA U9013 in the fall or spring semester; SIPA does not have summer internship registration. Students can register for either 1.5 (minimum of 120 internship hours) or 3 (minimum of 240 internship hours) internship credits.

Students are required to register a total of 3-points during their second year. This can be achieved by either registering two sections of 1.5-points over both fall and spring semesters or by registering one section of 3-points. Section 001: 1.5 points, Section 002: 3 points

HRSMA students may receive one academic credit for the completion of a relevant internship. The credit would count towards the elective requirement for the degree. In order to receive one credit, students will be required to complete a total of 100 internship hours. The internship must be professional in nature and substantively focused on human rights or social justice. For more information, students should refer to the HRSMA Digital Handbook.
Leading health systems that promote population health and deliver high-quality yet efficient health care is a national and global priority. Health systems must learn to improve and innovate, and leaders at the helm of these systems must navigate change and complexity. As future leaders, you will be central to influencing these systems, whether from a position of formal or informal authority. Today, leading health systems effectively requires self-awareness, as well as an understanding of how people and groups behave in organizations. The context in which you work – public health, global health, or health care- presents special challenges and opportunities.
This course is designed to give DrPH students a strong foundation in the managerial and organizational behavior issues associated with leading health systems. The course aims to build management, teamwork, and interpersonal skills that may be put into practice. Concepts from the discipline of managerial and organizational behavior (MOB) will be used as a lens to interpret and understand current health system issues. Students should complete the course with an appreciation of the unique organizational and interpersonal aspects of their context, and with the capacity to understand their unique value to solving some of our most pressing health challenges. The course is designed to allow students to reflect on and apply lessons drawn from personal leadership experience in health systems.
Prerequisites: the director of graduate studies permission if taking more than 3 points of study with any one faculty member. Individual writing on a topic agreed upon by the supervising faculty member.
The Course considers questions of Mission and Vision ("What areas, activities, or business(es) should we be in?") and questions of Strategy and Operations ("How can we perform or compete effectively in this area?"). It covers both strategy formulation ("What should our strategy be?") as well as strategy implementation ("What do we need to do to make this strategy work?"). The Course also addresses additional issues that are critical to the strategic management "process" (e.g. designing planning systems, managing contention, analyzing market context) are considered. We will build the foundation based on “macro” theories of strategic management (i.e., theories focused on organization and firm level decisions).
Open only to graduate students in the Department of Pharmacology doing dissertation research.

Candidates for the M.S. degree may conduct an investigation of some problem in biomedical engineering culminating in a thesis describing the results of their work. No more than 6 points in this course may be counted for graduate credit, and this credit is contingent upon the submission of an acceptable thesis.
Screenwriting concentrates who are focusing on Screenwriting MUST take Screenwriting Thesis Workshop with their advisor at least once during Research Arts matriculation in order to graduate. Students may take this class with their advisor whenever it is offered. They should consult with their advisor if they are considering taking Thesis Workshop at the same time as Script Revision or TV Revision.
