ADMINISTRATION Because DrPH students concentrate their professional development in a particular field of study, the DrPH program is administered jointly by the School and by departments. The director of the DrPH Program is appointed by the dean. The DrPH Executive Committee is composed of faculty from departments that offer the DrPH degree, departments that offer core DrPH instruction and mentorship, at least two adjunct faculty drawn from the public health practice community, the senior associate dean for academic affairs, a representative of the Interdepartmental Program in Applied Public Health, and two current DrPH students. Each department member is appointed by the Dean in consultation with the chair of each department and the DrPH program director. The members should be of sufficient rank to be able to speak on behalf of their respective departments. The department representatives on the committee also serve as the DrPH coordinator in their respective departments. The Dean appoints the student representatives and the adjunct faculty to the DrPH Executive Committee in consultation with the DrPH director. The DrPH Executive Committee is charged with the following: - Overseeing and administering the Schoolwide component of the program
- Developing Schoolwide program objectives, goals, and educational competencies
- Coordinating, communicating with and monitoring the implementation of the program within the respective departments offering the DrPH
- Working with departments to establish and maintain a core curriculum for the DrPH that builds disciplinary skills in the context of public health leadership and practice.
- Assessing matters of student performance in association with the Schoolwide Committee on Academic Standards
The DrPH Executive Committee has three standing committees. Members of each DrPH Subcommittee are appointed by the Director of the DrPH Program. - The DrPH Scholarship Subcommittee of the DrPH Executive Board is responsible for selecting recipients for available DrPH scholarships not specific to the departments.
- The DrPH Student Matters Subcommittee of the DrPH Executive Board is responsible for reviewing student requests for exceptions to DrPH academic policy. The recommendations of the DrPH Student Matters Subcommittee are reviewed and voted on by the full DrPH Executive Board and are forwarded to the Committee on Academic Standards.
- The DrPH Subcommittee on Part-time Programs of the DrPH Executive Board is responsible for determining the academic policies and their implementation for part-time DrPH programs.
The director of the DrPH Program reports regularly to the Committee on Academic Standards and the Committee of the Whole.
