The Program

The MS program prepares students to critically evaluate and implement the results of current research, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Students study with faculty involved in research, education, administration, professional practice, communication, and consulting. As part of their program, students develop a research proposal in an area of their choice and complete an individually designed practicum. Practicum experiences in education, public health and research have been arranged.
