MPH internship
The purpose of the internship requirement is to provide each MPH w88 casino games login with significant practical public health experience in an agency outside of the University. There are a wide variety of organizations that qualify as an internship site locally, nationally, and internationally.
The MPH w88 casino games login is expected to find an organization to complete the internship opportunity. The Internship Instructor and other faculty can provide support through their various connections in the communities, but it is up to the w88 casino games login to arrange an internship that best fits with his or her area of interest. The identification and approval of possible internship sites should begin in the semester prior to being enrolled in CHS 798 Field Studies in Public Health.
w88 casino games login must register for a total of three credit hours of CHS 798 and complete a minimum of 150 total work hours. w88 casino games login may meet the hour requirement at their own pace, upon approval from their field studies preceptor and the field studies instructor, with the understanding that the hours should be completed over one to three semesters.
When determining an internship site, emphasis should be placed on arranging an internship experience that will provide the w88 casino games login with new skills and experiences, where the w88 casino games login will be working in a professional capacity. Once a site and preceptor (site supervisor) have been identified and arranged, the w88 casino games login will work with all parties to complete the w88 casino games login Learning Contract (SLC), which outlines w88 casino games login goals, objectives, and competencies to be addressed during the Internship. Competencies are defined by CEPH as: Competencies clearly define what the w88 casino games login will do to demonstrate learning for a workforce-related need. The course objective specifies what the institution intends to do to achieve its course goals.”
The SLC is due the semester before the internship begins. The SLC must be signed by all parties and submitted to the internship instructor prior to the start of any internship hours. Preceptors must have significant education and/or work experience in public health to qualify as a preceptor. Final determination of preceptor qualification will be made by the Field Studies Instructor or appropriate faculty in the w88 casino games login.
w88 casino games login enrolled in the 6-semester option should plan on enrolling in 1 credit of CHS 798 each semester beginning in their third semester and ending in their fifth (penultimate) semester. w88 casino games login work with the Field Studies Instructor in the Field Studies Resource Center (FRC) during their second semester to prepare for the field studies experience.
w88 casino games login in the 7-semester option enroll in 1 credit hour of CHS 798 beginning in their fourth semester and ending in their sixth (penultimate) semester. w88 casino games login work with the Field Studies Instructor in the Field Studies Resource Center (FRC) during their third semester to prepare for the field studies experience.
w88 casino games login in the 8-semester option enroll in 1 credit hour of CHS 798 beginning in their fifth semester and ending in their seventh (penultimate) semester. w88 casino games login work with the Field Studies Instructor in the Field Studies Resource Center (FRC) during their fourth semester to prepare for the field studies experience.
Interprofessional education (IPE) didactic and practice sessions, a core component of the CHS 798 course, take place throughout the internship. Attendance in IPE exercises is required as part of the CHS 798 course.
Background checks policy for University programs
Some states, as well as federal laws, now require that any individual who regularly provides services to certain segments of the population (generally, those deemed “vulnerable” or “special,” including but not limited to children and the sick) must submit to a criminal background check in order to obtain and maintain privileges in clinical and/or educational settings. Additionally, many sites affiliated with the University of Nevada, Reno have adopted this requirement for educational purposes.
It is not University policy to perform background checks on all University w88 casino games login, and University does not certify or vouch for the background of the w88 casino games login who participate in an internship. Accordingly, an organization must conduct its own background check or require the student to obtain a background check, if the organization wants to determine fitness for duty using that information. It shall be the organization’s responsibility to evaluate the results of such background check and determine the student’s fitness for duty.
w88 casino games login must be aware that:
- If a criminal background check is required for placement at any internship or clinical facility, the expense for the check will be borne by the w88 casino games login or requesting agency.
- w88 casino games login’s responsibilities: Each student required to provide a criminal background check must provide documentation that they have completed the fingerprinting and criminal background check as required by the facility. w88 casino games login may need to provide this information prior to beginning the internship.
- Results of a criminal background check will not be the property of the University. The University will not require the submission of results to the School of w88 casino games login or the University.
- If a w88 casino games login fails to pass a criminal background check, they may be ineligible for participation in the internship experience, which may impede their ability to progress in their coursework.
- The School of Public Health or the University does not accept responsibility for any w88 casino games login being ineligible for coursework or continued enrollment in the School of Public Health for any reason, including failure to pass a criminal background check.
MPH capstone course: Professional paper and presentation
According to the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), all MPH w88 casino games login must demonstrate skills and integration of knowledge through a culminating experience. A culminating experience is one that requires a student to synthesize and integrate foundational and concentration competencies. w88 casino games login will complete an MPH capstone paper that represents the culmination and mastery of the MPH curriculum.
The MPH capstone course will provide the structure w88 casino games login need to complete the capstone paper and presentation. w88 casino games login will provide and receive peer evaluation on their paper and presentation in the capstone course. w88 casino games login will receive points in the capstone course for meeting paper and presentation deadlines and the quality of ALL submissions. The student’s paper must be of sufficient academic rigor to demonstrate mastery of the curriculum and competencies.
Students should plan on taking CHS 796 in their last semester of the w88 casino games login. The focus of the capstone paper will vary based on the student’s interest, and generally derives from the field studies experience. In addition to the competencies identified by the capstone course instructor, students will choose one additional foundational competency and two additional Public Health Practice competencies that they will achieve with their paper and presentation.
In addition to providing the structure for completion of the MPH capstone paper and presentation, the capstone course will also address planning for lifelong learning and professional service.
Graduation process
MPH w88 casino games login graduate in the semester that they complete all requirements of the MPH degree, usually in the same semester they complete the MPH capstone course. w88 casino games login have a total of 6 years to complete all degree requirements. w88 casino games login graduating in Summer semesters may participate in the Hooding and Commencement Ceremonies in (1) Spring preceding graduation, or (2) Fall following graduation. w88 casino games login graduating in Fall semesters may participate in the Hooding and Commencement Ceremonies in the Fall semester or in the Spring following graduation.

The Graduate School will review each application and email the students within 3 to 8 weeks with the result of their graduation review. All candidates for graduation should communicate with the w88 casino games login Director or the Academic Advisor to confirm expectations for the final semester. Important dates, deadlines, and milestones are located on the University’s Graduation dates, w88 onlinewebsite.
The MPH Hooding Ceremony is the highlight of the Graduation Process – all family and friends are invited. The timing of this allows for MPH w88 casino games login to attend the University's Graduate Student Commencement as well.
Academic and professional standards and policies
Academic standards
The University Academic Standards Policy defines academic dishonesty, and mandates specific sanctions for violations. See the 6,502: w88 online casino Standards. Sanctions for violations of University academic standards for academic dishonesty may include academic and/or disciplinary sanctions. Academic sanctions for both undergraduate and graduate students may include: filing a final grade of "F", reducing the student's final course grade one or two full grade points; giving a reduced grade or zero on the coursework; or requiring the student to retake or resubmit the coursework. Before beginning the w88 casino games login, all students must review the University Academic Standards Policy.
Good standing
All graduate students must maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of 3.0. If their GPA drops below 3.0, they are either placed on probation or dismissed from the w88 casino games login. Undergraduate courses will not count towards graduate GPA.
To be counted toward the MS degree, each graduate course must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. To remain in good standing in the w88 casino games login, students are required to maintain a 3.0 “B” grade point average in both the core and the specialization, individually.
Probation and dismissal
According to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Code, Title 2, Chapter 11, “a student may be dismissed from a w88 casino games login for academic reasons which may include but are not limited to inadequate grades or failure to remain in academic good standing as defined by the w88 casino games login, a lack of professionalism or unethical conduct, or failure to comply with other specific w88 casino games login requirements. Failure to comport with professional and/or ethical standards applicable to the particular discipline or w88 casino games login may be grounds for dismissal from a w88 casino games login.” The School of Public Health has developed a dismissal policy that includes dismissal for failure to maintain required grades or required grade point average, dismissal for lack of professionalism, unethical conduct, or failure to comply with other w88 casino games login requirements. Before beginning the w88 casino games login, all students must acknowledge that they have reviewed the w88 sports betting student dismissal policy.
Students whose cumulativegrade-point total is between 2.31 and 2.99 are placed onacademic probationfor one semester. Graduate students on probation are not eligible for graduate assistantships. If they fail to raise their cumulative GPA to 3.0 by the end of one semester, they are dismissed from their graduate w88 casino games login. Thesis, dissertation, S/U graded credits, and transfer credits have no impact on a student’s GPA.
If a student’s grade point average is 2.30 or lower, the student will be dismissed from graduate standing. A student dismissed from graduate standing because of grade-point deficiencies may enroll as a Graduate Special in undergraduate or graduate courses. To enroll in graduate-level courses, advance written approval must be obtained from the course instructor, the department/w88 casino games login concerned and the Graduate School. Enrolling in undergraduate courses will not raise the cumulative graduate GPA
Dismissal recommendations for reasons other than failure to maintain required grades or required grade point average require a written Notice of Dismissal from the Director of Graduate Studies to the student and the Graduate Dean, and the scheduling of a Review Conference, according to Chapter 11 of the Nevada System of Higher Education CODE.w88 casino games login can appeal their dismissal from graduate standing by submitting a formal letter to the Dean of the Graduate School and to the Director of Graduate Studies.
