This independent study involves working with a faculty member as an Undergraduate Course Assistant (UCA) for a Public Health Sciences course. UCAs attend class sessions, assist with development and administration of course materials and activities, and support student learning and engagement. By participating in these activities, UCAs develop communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills in addition to strengthening their own understanding of course content.

This independent study involves engaging in Public Health-related research under the supervision of an approved faculty member. Students work with their faculty supervisor to develop learning objectives for their independent research project, as well as a detailed plan describing how these objectives will be fulfilled.

This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

Infectious diseases are major contributors to public health burdens throughout the world. Vector- borne diseases (those carried by mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and others) are an important part of this complex landscape. The surveillance and control of vector-borne diseases (including dengue, malaria, Lyme disease and others) require special approaches and techniques, and this course serves as a introduction to this field of public health entomology. This course will help build a skilled workforce with foundational knowledge to address emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

Data science is an exciting discipline that allows you to turn raw data into understanding, insight, and knowledge. The course will first focus on data visualization and data transformation, and then introduce other topics including exploratory data analysis and programing. This course will help students learn the most important tools in R to do data science. Students will gain hands-on experience through in-class coding activities and homework assignments.
