MPH-45 CLE Field of Study Requirements – Supplemental Information
Upper-Level CLE Coursework
Academic year CLE students are required to take an additional 5 credits of upper-level CLE coursework. (This is highly recommended but not required for summer-only CLE students.) Upper-level CLE courses are defined as any courses beyond the introductory level that provide students with analytic and/or quantitative skills for evaluating clinical/public health issues. The list of approved courses is posted below. Students may propose to take a course that is not on this list by emailing the field of study leader, Heather Baer.
Academic year CLE students may request to enroll in independent study research (EPI 300) as part of their coursework; this may be used to work on the same project as the practicum. A maximum of 5 credits can be taken for EPI 300, and these credits can be spread out across semesters. Of the 5 credits that can be taken for EPI 300, a maximum of 2.5 credits can be counted as upper-level CLE coursework, and an additional 2.5 credits can be taken as elective coursework. Independent studies (e.g., EPI 300) are only pass/fail. Students interested in enrolling in EPI 300 must email the field of study leader, Heather Baer, to obtain approval.
Academic year CLE students may enroll in on-campus courses in any term: summer, fall, Winter Session, and spring. Summer-only CLE students may enroll in on-campus courses only in summer and Winter Session. Summer-only CLE students are not permitted to enroll in on-campus courses during the fall or spring semesters and they are not permitted to cross-register. Both academic year and summer-only CLE students may enroll in MPH-EPI online courses during the fall or spring semesters on a space-available basis.
