Integrative Learning Experience


Master of Public Health students participate in the Integrative Learning Experience (ILE) in their final semester. The ILE is a culminating project conducted under the supervision of a Faculty Advisor. The purpose of the ILE is to help each student integrate information and skills gained in coursework and the Applied Practice Experience to address a public health issue or problem. A wide variety of projects may be appropriate, including projects related to research, program evaluation, training a public health workforce, and community interventions to improve health.
