The Department provides short-term, intensive educational opportunities for public health practitioners and other professionals through several institutes. The Summer Institute offered in June in Baltimore; the Winter Institute offered in January in Washington, D.C.; and the Fall Institute offered in November in Barcelona, Spain, provide graduate academic courses in a compressed format. The Department also sponsors several certificate programs providing academic training to students seeking targeted education in a specific area of public health. Some certificates will appeal to students enrolled in a concurrent degree program, while others will appeal to non-degree-seeking students. |
