The MPH/MPA dual degree program at Brown University is a rigorous, interdisciplinary master's track jointly offered by the School of Public Health and the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. The curriculum integrates advanced training in public health (epidemiology, data analysis, leadership, intervention design) with foundational and applied skills in public affairs/policy, preparing graduates to address complex health policy challenges globally and in the US. The program emphasizes a 'learning-by-doing' approach, comprising 17 courses (14 full and 6 half-courses), a practicum, and an Integrated Learning Experience (ILE, thesis or capstone). Students benefit from extensive research resources and collaboration opportunities with the Rhode Island Department of Health and Brown’s many research centers. Highly suitable for future leaders, analysts, policy specialists, and public health professionals. 来源： https://graduateprograms.brown.edu/graduate-program/public-health-mph
