The MSPH in Health Policy is a professionally oriented degree program designed for individuals seeking competency-based education and training to establish or expand careers as health policy professionals within the United States. The program requires one year of accelerated coursework, followed by a second year full-time employment experience. The employment experience provides a seamless transition from graduate student to health policy professional. Students in this program develop skills and experiences in research methods, analysis, and policy formulation, with a strong orientation toward professional practice and opportunities for hands-on policy experience at the federal, state, and local levels. Students work in full-time, paid positions in a range of organizations from government to non-profit, consulting, advocacy and administration for the field placement year. Academic and professional development requirements in the second year of the MSPH program are designed to enrich and not interfere with their employment experience. Second year requirements include professional development activities as well as competency-based assignments that support students' transition to and skill development as health policy professionals. Additionally in the second year, students have the option to take online courses to continue to advance their training.
