The thesis is a culminating experience in the graduate student's MSPH program. The purpose of the thesis is to give students an opportunity to synthesize and apply the knowledge and skills gained in the MSPH course work and demonstrate the ability to produce a scholarly product. This thesis also allows students the opportunity to develop research skills, as they conduct an individual project on a specific public health related topic. The thesis will demonstrate the critical thinking, research, and writing skills of students as they prepare to enter their career in public health. A student's thesis should be relevant to their field of study and their long term goals in public health.
