Students have the opportunity to complete the Public Health Leadership Lab as either a Participant or Concentrator. In fall 2022, students will indicate on their application if they’re applying as a Participant or Concentrator. Specifically for the Concentrator option, you must satisfy all Fall requirements and submit the Concentrator Declaration form (this will be available in Fall 2) in order to continue with the program in Spring semester. We highly encourage those who are in online programs (MPH-EPI and MPH-GEN) to apply for our Participant option.
If you plan to complete the PHL Lab program as a Concentrator and only have 1 year at HSPH, please take some of your leadership coursework in the fall semester. For those who will be at HSPH beyond 1 year, you have a maximum of 2 years to complete the 10 credits.
