The department of public health and prevention science values evidence-based educational approaches that actively engage students within the learning environment. The faculty utilize a variety of techniques, including problem-based learning, technology-based pedagogy, case studies and collaborative learning techniques such as high-quality class discussions and peer teaching (i.e., role play, test taking teams, etc.) that offer an alternative to lecture-based class meetings.

Public Health Club
The Public Health Club promotes awareness about public health issues; generates and shares service and internship opportunities; creates professional fellowship and development opportunities; and advocates for preventative education, research and funding for the public health field.

A significant strength of the BW MPH program is that it provides students with opportunities to apply learning directly within the healthcare or community setting. All students enrolled in the MPH program will participate in research projects and a culminating experience incorporating a wide range of population health topics and settings.

Culminating Experience

The culminating experience provides the opportunity for students to address a public health question or issue of their interest that draws from their academic experience. It allows students to apply, integrate and synthesize knowledge and experience obtained during their academic course of study to a question or problem of public health relevance. In some cases, the culminating project idea or opportunity may evolve from the student's current place of employment. The culminating experience has three primary components: a proposal, a written applied project paper and an oral presentation.
