THE DEAN'S PUBLIC HEALTH GRAND ROUNDS REQUIREMENT - ALL STUDENTS

All Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH) students gain significant exposure to the broader profession of public health through required enrollment in their first two consecutive terms in PUBHLT 2022, The Dean's Public Health Grand Rounds. This non-credit, tuition-free course is offered in fall and spring terms, and provides students additional opportunities to interact with researchers and practitioners with diverse public health backgrounds and experience. Students may learn more about this requirement by accessing the GSPH website, under Academics.

(Note: Students should not enroll in PUBHLT 2022 as their only course in fall or spring term. Registration in this course must be accompanied by enrollment in at least one other for-credit course.)
