1.  继续教育学院

A. 新的专业研究硕士学位课程.

The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) is an interdisciplinary graduate degree program in the social sciences and the professions. The 33-hour MPS program is designed for working adults who wish to pursue graduate professional studies that combine two or more disciplines. Because the MPS student’s academic needs and interests are multidisciplinary, they generally are not served by traditional professional programs. MPS提供的研究生课程包括:

a.       新型跨学科课程;
b.      现有研究生课程;
c.      最终的专业项目.   

The MPS allows for the 开发ment of professionally oriented programs that respond to the dynamic needs of students working in or preparing for rapidly changing professional environments and expectations. 在这个跨学科的研究生学习项目中, students make connections between various professional fields and traditional social science disciplines.

2.  公共及相关健康学院

A.      新浓度-生物统计学中的MPH

There is a national shortage of professionals with the type of background for analysis in public health. Although many new challenges have been presented to public health workers in recent years (e.g., bioterrorism; obesity), "…the number of public health workers has decreased during the past two decades to well below 1970s figures."(《十大博彩公司》, 卫生政策中心, 哥伦比亚大学)目前, 田纳西州在美国排名最低.S. Public Health Region IV and is in the lowest third of the nation in the ratio of public health workers to population. 而公共卫生工作者的比例继续下降, Tennessee and other states are being asked to "… improve their capacity to monitor, 调查, and respond to patterns in disease areas…" (Woernle 1991) creating a desperate shortage of graduate-trained biostatisticans and epidemiologists in health departments and other agencies in the United States.

理事会采取的行动: 批准.

B.      生物统计学新证书

理事会采取的行动: 批准.

3.       社区卫生/公共卫生课程修订

    1. 公共卫生中的MPH浓度

The Department of Public Health Community Health Concentration is requesting to modify the "Trilogy" sequence of courses [PUBH-5110 (Assessment of Individual and Community Health), PUBH-5120(研究与评估技术), and PUBH-5130 (Planning and Implementation of Community Health Programs], where students partner with a community organization or agency over three consecutive semesters to assess, 开发, 实现, 评估社区卫生干预措施. 对PUBH-5110的修改只涉及编辑更改. Modifications to PUBH-5120 and PUBH-5130 involve substantial course changes. Modification of the Trilogy allows better integration of material in two courses: PUBH-5150 (Consulting in Organizations and Communities), and PUBH 5210 (Professional Development for Public Health Practice). 因此, we are requesting these two courses be removed as curriculum requirements in the community health concentration. Also, we are requesting the addition of a 6 credit monograph option as a culminating experience. Three additional elective credit hours are being proposed to complete the 43 credit hour degree. The new proposed curriculum more appropriately focuses on public health competencies within the experiential learning process and will greatly enhance research competencies within our MPH program.

由非营利组织引起我们的注意. 基金课程申请
