Capstone Project Requirements<br />
The culminating experience <strong>for</strong> the MPH program is a capstone project that benefits the community or<br />
particular target population. The capstone project requires completion of the coursework and<br />
presentation of the final product to ColoradoSPH faculty and students at the Public Health Forum held<br />
each semester.<br />
Capstone Project:<br />
The capstone course is 2 credit hours across two academic terms, and should relate to a student’s<br />
academic goals and professional interests, as well as demonstrate the student’s ability to integrate<br />
competencies and concepts from the student’s concentration and the breadth of Public Health and to<br />
work independently at the master’s level. Most students will enroll in Capstone 1 either in the term<br />
following completion of the practicum, or concurrently with the practicum. Students with special<br />
circumstances that may require a different timing structure should speak with their academic advisors<br />
to develop a personal plan.<br />
Capstone Preparation: The first term of the capstone will occur within each department (see table<br />
below), and will be directed by department faculty. Each student is expected to produce a welldeveloped<br />
capstone project proposal by the end of Capstone Preparation, which will be approved by<br />
the student’s capstone instructors <strong>for</strong> implementation. Once approved by the capstone instructors, the<br />
capstone project proposal will be submitted to the faculty director of practice-based learning, and the<br />
student will continue on to Capstone Integration.<br />
