Name: PCC Proposal to Establish a Doctorate of Public Health
Proposed: 08/01/2019
Sponsor: PCC Committee
Proposal: This proposal seeks to establish an online DrPH degree in the School of Public Health. The DrPH program will be a School-wide program with the potential for several concentrations. This proposal includes the first of the concentrations, Executive Leadership in Public Health, and will be administered by the Department of Behavioral and Community Health. It is designed to develop leaders prepared to take on the transformation mandate of expanding the scope and reach of public health to address all factors that promote health and well-being. This hybrid course format and cohort structure promotes a learning community with full-time students able to complete the program in three years. The goal of the doctoral program is to develop health professionals competent in understanding the health needs of populations who are qualified to conduct and translate research to implement programs and policies aimed at improving the public's health.
