About the MPH Integrated Learning Experience
The MPH Integrated Learning Experience (ILE) requires students to synthesize and integrate the knowledge acquired in coursework and other learning experiences, and to apply theory, research design, analytical and professional writing skills to a research or advocacy project. Students work with MPH faculty and community-based professionals on an existing research or advocacy project or in designing an original project.
As part of the ILE experience, students complete research ethics training; prepare or modify an IRB proposal; explore the literature; design and/or select data collection instruments; collect, analyze and interpret data; prepare a research manuscript, report or grant proposal; conduct an oral presentation on findings; and complete a self-assessment.
