Senate Committee on Educational Policy
FROM:
Margaret Grosch
Director, Programs and Academic Assessment
I am submitting for review and action by the Senate Committee on Educational Policy the
attached Revision of the Master of Public Health Comprehensive Program in the
following concentrations: Quantitative Methods in Biostatistics, Community Health
Sciences, Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, ABET-Accredited
Industrial Hygiene Program in EOHS, Epidemiology, Health Policy and
Administration, and Public Health Informatics.
The revision was approved by the Committee on Educational Programs in the School
of Public Health on November 27, 2006, and by the Executive Committee in the
School of Public Health on December 4, 2006.

Title:
Revision of the Master of Public Health Comprehensive Program
in the following concentrations: Quantitative Methods in
Biostatistics, Community Health Sciences, Environmental and
Occupational Health Sciences, ABET-Accredited Industrial
Hygiene Program in EOHS, Epidemiology, Health Policy and
Administration, and Public Health Informatics
Sponsor:
School of Public Health
Description:
Revise requirements for the MPH Comprehensive Program in the
following concentrations: Quantitative Methods, Community
Health Sciences, Environmental and Occupational Health
Sciences, Epidemiology, Industrial Hygiene, Health Policy and
Administration and Public Health Informatics. Revisions include:
1. A core course for the MPH (BSTT 400, Biostatistics I) is
increasing from 3 to 4 credit hours.
2. There are new course numbers assigned to courses listed in the
Quantitative Methods concentration: BSTT has been
renumbered to BSTT 505 (Logistic Regression and Survival
Analysis 2sh); BSTT 430 renumbered to BSTT 506 (Design of
Clinical Trials, 3 hours) and BSTT 440 renumbered to BSTT
507 (Sample and Estimation Methods, 3 hours)
3. An additional course will now be required in the
Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
concentration: EOHS 405 (Environmental Calculations, 2
hours).
4. The Health Policy & Management concentration has been
revised. Changes include the simplification of Enrichment
course requirements (while keeping some flexibility); and
striking a different balance between requirements for policy
and management courses. In addition, the “Health Services
Administration and Policy (HSAP)” track has been eliminated.
See “Catalog Statement” section below for specific course
requirements for each concentration.
The above changes result in changes to total hours required for the degree in some cases
as follows:
MPH with Concentration in Quantitative Methods – changing from 49-54 to 50-55 hours
MPH with Concentration in Community Health Sciences – changing from 43-58 to 44-59
hours
MPH with Concentration in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences – changing
from 42-60 to 43-63 hours
Revised 2/23/07
2
MPH with Concentration in ABET-Accredited Industrial Hygiene Program in EOHS –
change from 53 to 54 semester hours
MPH with Concentration in Epidemiology – remains the same at 52-54 hours
MPH with Concentration in Health Policy and Administration – changing from 52-60
hours to 52 hours
MPH with Concentration in Public Health Informatics - changing from 49-51 to 50 to 52
hours
Justification:
1. BSTT 400 was increased by 1 semester hour to add introduction
to statistical analysis data software content to the course.
2. Renumbering courses from the 400- to the 500-level reflect
their placement in the curriculum as advanced courses in the
curriculum.
3. EOHS 405 has been added to the EOHS concentration to
assure a basic understanding of the computational aspects of
environmental exposure assessment; and
4. The changes to the HPA concentration reflect suggestions
made by an external advisory panel of public health
practitioners. The HSAP track was eliminated when the Master
of Healthcare Administration (MHA) degree was established.

complete a field experience and capstone
project.
