The MPH Internship
All MPH students, except those in the Advanced Professional program and accelerated MBA-MPH program, are required to do a full-time summer internship. The internship is typically 10-12 weeks and no less than 8 weeks in duration. The MPH internship enables students to participate in real world public health projects and research through local, national and international placements. It is also an opportunity for students to clarify their professional goals and to evaluate their career options. Both the Office of Public Health Practice and Office of Career Services play roles in assisting students with the summer internship process.
Meeting Internship Requirements
The Office of Public Health Practice offers special workshops during the spring semester to provide hands on support to students in developing their internship work plans. One-on-one assistance is also available upon request. Contact Diane Frankel-Gramelis.
