public health thesis

Master of Public Health

A thesis is a substantive and original body of work that allows the student to synthesize and integrate knowledge from their public health course work and practicum experiences, apply it to a particular topic area, and communicate their ideas and findings through a scholarly written product. The thesis represents the culmination of the student’s educational experience in the Vanderbilt MPH Program.

The thesis may take on different formats, depending on the student’s track focus and interests. Regardless of the format chosen, the student must apply critical thought, systematic analysis, and clear presentation.

Each student is responsible for identifying a topic and appropriate format for their thesis with the assistance and guidance of faculty advisers and faculty thesis readers.

The practicum product must be distinct from the thesis. Although the practicum and thesis can be related, the student must be able to articulate how the two projects are independent from one another. The practicum is a practice experience that allows students to apply and develop skills in public health concepts. The thesis is the synthesis and integration of knowledge acquired in coursework and through the practicum and results in an original scholarly work.

Thesis and Capstone Requirements for Public Health Programs

Most graduate programs in public health include a thesis or capstone project, which students usually undertake after completing other coursework. While completing these projects, students must apply knowledge and skills gained throughout the program. The thesis or capstone tests the student’s ability to make a unique contribution to their field while demonstrating mastery of the subject.

These culminating projects reflect the kind of work students will do during the course of their careers.

These culminating projects reflect the kind of work students will do during the course of their careers. Public health students may complete an academic article or a detailed plan for dealing with the outbreak of a disease. Some projects involve working alongside professionals in the field, while others require significant research in archives and libraries. The completed thesis or capstone project demonstrates the student’s ability to perform duties within the public health field.

What’s the Difference Between a Capstone and a Thesis in Public Health Programs?

A thesis is an academic article that presents an argument or research findings. Common in graduate programs, thesis projects are often by an adviser or other faculty member. Capstone projects take various forms and, although more common in undergraduate studies, may be a requirement of master’s programs. Capstones are often research projects presented in a non-article format and involve hands-on experience.

What Is a Capstone Like in Public Health Programs?

Public health capstone format.

Capstones are typically independent projects, which students undertake toward the end of their program.

Capstones can take a variety of forms, but they generally consist of written and oral portions. The written portion could be a short article or a summary of findings, while the oral portion may involve a presentation at a conference. Capstones are typically independent projects, which students undertake toward the end of their program. A capstone may last one or two terms. Some programs allow students to choose project topics and begin research early.

Choosing Your Public Health Capstone Topic

Typically, students choose a capstone topic relevant to their specializations and career interests, which one or more faculty members must approve. Capstone projects are an opportunity to build connections with public health professionals. Capstone topics often address contemporary problems in the field, and individual programs or faculty may provide a selection of topics from which students must choose. Some programs pair students with faculty advisers.

Completing Your Public Health Capstone

Regardless of the capstone format, a few aspects are generally the same. Students first choose a topic or research question on which to base the project. Learners may conduct research to determine the limits of the project or may simply complete an outline. Before beginning on a capstone project, one or more faculty members must approve the student’s topic; the faculty member may be the student’s adviser or the professor of the capstone course. After receiving approval, the student can begin further research, project development, and execution of the capstone. Methods and resources vary based on the student’s field, subfield, and specialization.

Presenting Your Public Health Capstone

Presentation circumstances vary by program, but students generally present their capstone to a panel of three to five faculty members. These presentations are often open to the public and may include an opportunity for audience members to ask the student questions. Though visual aids such as slideshows and videos are common, the project’s subject and format guides presentation methods.

How Is a Public Health Capstone Graded?

While students may receive a rubric, master’s-level capstone projects rarely receive letter grades. These projects are typically pass or fail, though some students may pass with distinction. While it is possible to fail a capstone, students rarely fail a capstone they have completed and presented; advisers ensure the project is of passing quality.

What Is a Thesis Like in Public Health Programs?

Public health thesis format.

A thesis is an individual project, typically a piece of academic writing based on research, sometimes involving experimentation.

A thesis is an individual project, typically a piece of academic writing based on research, sometimes involving experimentation. A faculty adviser generally oversees the student’s completion of their thesis project. Some programs require students to present their thesis. The amount of time allotted to complete a thesis project varies by program and depends largely on how early the student may submit a topic for approval. Many programs require students to enroll in a thesis course, or courses, which allows the program to award credit for the project and provides a specific time for students to meet with advisers and complete thesis work.

Choosing Your Public Health Thesis Topic

While completing their thesis project, students typically work with a faculty member who approves their topic, suggests sources or methods, and helps guide the student through the research and writing processes. Though some programs specify certain topics or stipulate that students address a current issue, students generally have the final say regarding their thesis topic. The main requirement of thesis topics in public health is that they contribute to the field.

Completing Your Public Health Thesis

The first step to writing a master’s of public health thesis is choosing an approved topic. Students must then research and write about that topic. Students must typically obtain approval early in the process and must usually check in with advisers regularly as they progress. The format of the thesis project varies by field and school. Learners typically submit their thesis to advisers, who suggest changes and additions before the student submits the thesis to the school for digital or physical publication and inclusion in the school’s library or archives.

Presenting Your Public Health Thesis

A thesis presentation often involves questions from a panel of advisers and other faculty. These questions should help clarify and further define aspects of the thesis. While a presentation may include a slideshow or other aids, the focus of the presentation should be on replying to the panel’s concerns, rather than presenting new information. Most thesis presentations are open to the public, and audience members are usually allowed or encouraged to ask questions, though they may not have read the thesis itself. Students typically present after submitting their thesis to advisers but before finalizing the project and submitting it to the school.

How Is a Public Health Thesis Graded?

Most programs grade thesis papers pass or fail. A thesis is the culmination of a student’s education and is designed to be a challenging but ultimately successful process. A good adviser works directly with the student to ensure the final version of the student’s thesis is passing quality.

It is recommended that you start thinking about your research project or thesis your first semester. This will allow adequate time to gain rapport with faculty who will be on your supervisory committee, and develop research project/thesis ideas that align with your specific research interests

FORM YOUR SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE

To begin, you will want to identify potential faculty you would like to work with on your thesis/project. The supervisory committee form outlines which faculty you have selected to work with and must be turned into your academic advisor. The essential role of your supervisory committee is to provide feedback, guidance and mentorship on your thesis/project while also approving the research subject and judging your final defense.

Following University of Utah Graduate School Policy , “Master’s Supervisory Committees consist of three faculty members, the majority of whom must be tenure-line faculty in the student’s major department.” The committee Chair and one committee member must be tenure or tenure track from the Division of Public Health. If a member outside the Division of Public Health is desired, the potential committee member must hold a minimum of a Master’s degree and must have expertise specific to the research topic. The desired outside member must submit a CV to the academic advisor for the graduate school records.

Please see your academic advisor for further instruction on approved faculty for your Supervisory Committee.

IDENTIFY A THESIS/PROJECT TOPIC

The master’s thesis/project may be based on research involving primary data collection, but is often a secondary analysis of existing data to investigate a research question not yet evaluated in a given study. The decisions about acceptable thesis/project content and organization reside with each student’s Supervisory Committee. There are examples of past theses/projects in the Division of Public Health.

REGISTER FOR THESIS/PROJECT HOURS

Before you can register for thesis/project hours you must set up your supervisory committee and turn in the supervisory committee form, with the appropriate signatures, to your academic advisor. At that time, a permission code will be provided to you that will allow you to register for PBHLT 6975/6977 – Thesis/Project Research -MSPH .

Please be mindful of registration dates to ensure adequate time to obtain all of the needed forms and permission code for registration. You must register for a total of 6 credit hours towards the thesis/project before graduation. Please note that it does not matter when you register for credits: this can be during or after you actually complete the necessary project hours. A total of 6 credits must be completed, but the 6 credits can be split up into multiple semesters as needed. Please note: you must be registered for at least 3 credit hours, whether that be project/thesis credits; or an actual class; during the semester you defend your final project/thesis .

MSPH THESIS/PROJECT PROPOSAL FORMAT

Prior to starting the thesis/project, you must prepare a concept proposal that requires approval by your committee. Guidelines on what the concept proposal should cover can be found here or on the website under project/thesis forms with all other necessary forms. A copy of the final proposal will also be placed in your student file. Please return your proposal to your academic advisor. Your Supervisory Committee will determine if you are prepared to proceed to the formal thesis/project by signing off on the committee research proposal approval form .

PROJECT REPORT OR THESIS FORMAT

After the approval of the thesis/project proposal, you are ready to develop your research under the direction of your committee. Any and all approval of the content of the thesis/project is an academic matter between you and your committee. The final project must produce a publishable quality paper, thus the formatting for each paper will be individual to the student and the journal to which you will submit.

Depending on the given project, IRB approval may be required in order to protect the rights and welfare of the research subjects involved. Once IRB approval is established, please complete the IRB research proposal form and return it to your academic advisor. Please note, if IRB approval is not needed, the completion of the IRB form is still required.

However, if you choose to complete thesis work instead of the research project, the form and distribution for the thesis and abstract as well as the use of restricted data are determined by The Graduate School and published in A Handbook for Theses and Dissertations , available in the Thesis Office. The format of the thesis must be approved by The Graduate School thesis and dissertation editor, Room 302 Park Building. Please note, that the dates and deadlines below will need to be adjusted to the Thesis Office deadlines. Please see the graduate school calendar for more information.

THESIS/PROJECT DEFENSE

PRE-DEFENSE Prior to scheduling the thesis/project defense it is strongly recommended to hold a pre-defense meeting with your supervisory committee. During your pre-defense, you will present your progress, so that the committee can determine whether sufficient progress has been made in order to schedule the defense.

PUBLICIZE THE EVENT Before you can schedule your final defense, you must submit your final draft and PowerPoint slides to your entire committee. Once the committee agrees that you are approved to move forward with scheduling your final defense, you will work with your academic advisor to schedule the time, location, and public posting of the defense. Your supervisory committee must sign the defense date approval form before the defense announcement will be distributed. Please note, your supervisory committee must approve the final defense arrangements and have both your final draft and PowerPoint slides on hand before the announcement is publicized .

The date and time of the final defense must be widely publicized to the entire department at least ten business days prior to the date of defense. Please use this defense announcement to publicize your event and return this announcement to your academic advisor for distribution.

FINAL DEFENSE For the final defense you must defend your thesis or project by satisfactorily introducing your research topic, covering your methods, results, strengths and limitations and your concluding findings. The oral presentation ranges between 30-35 minutes with questions to follow. A PowerPoint presentation is the most common platform used for sharing research findings.

Please note, the last day to defend your project is two weeks before the last day of finals week. Per the Graduate School, you must be registered for at least three credit hours during the semester you defend .

Common misconceptions of defense requirements include, printing of a student’s manuscript for their committee members; and/or serving of light refreshments. These are not requirements set by the Division of Public Health or the Graduate School and, thus, are not required during the final defense.

FINAL APPROVAL

After the thesis/project defense, the Committee indicates on the Report of the Final Examination form whether the student has passed or failed. All committee members who are present at the examination should sign the form. In cases where the Supervisory Committee does not feel that the student has passed the defense, the committee will make appropriate recommendations for further courses, reading or research to address the deficiencies.

The final project must produce a publishable quality paper that is submitted to the supervisory committee with a copy given to the academic advisor in order to be considered finished. The final paper is due two weeks after the student’s defense date or no later than the last day of finals week. Failure to submit the final paper within that time frame will result in delay of graduation.

JOURNAL SUBMISSION

Before your project/thesis is deemed complete you will need to inform your academic advisor which journal you submitted your final paper for publication. Your supervisory committee can help determine appropriate journals for submission. Please notify your academic advisor by email of the name of the journal(s) for your student record. This must be submitted by the last day of finals week.

• AUTHORSHIP CRITERIA: Authorship of a student’s MSPH project will usually include the student as first author, followed by the supervisory members, including chair. However, fewer or additional authors is perfectly reasonable.
• You must upload the PDF proof of the submitted manuscript along with code and dataset/variables (de-identified and as allowed via IRB approved protocol) enabling reproducibility of the results to a UBox folder shared by you and the faculty advisor. Furthermore, if you fail to adhere to the mutually agreed timeline for alternative journal submissions, you will forfeit your role as first author, and the faculty advisor can assume leadership in getting the manuscript successfully published.

TIMELINE FOR SUBMISSION OF FORMS/FINAL REPORT

• SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE FORM: The Supervisory Committee form must be submitted to the academic advisor before the start of a student’s thesis/project and before a permission code will be given to register for thesis/project hours. It is highly encouraged to start forming the supervisory committee two semesters before the anticipated graduation date.
• RESEARCH PROPOSAL: The research proposal must be submitted to the supervisory committee for approval in order to proceed with the student’s research. The research proposal then must be returned to the academic advisor as soon as the research proposal is approved, or no later than the student’s defense date.
• COMMITTEE RESEARCH PROPOSAL APPROVAL FORM: After the supervisory committees support is given to the student’s research proposal, the approval form must be returned to the academic advisor. The official last day to submit the form is the student’s defense date.
• IRB RESEARCH PROPOSAL FORM: Depending on a student’s project, IRB approval may be required. Please note, if IRB approval is not needed, the completion of the IRB form is still required. This form must be submitted to the academic advisor after the IRB approval is granted (or not needed), but no later than the student’s defense date.
• MSPH DEFENSE DATE APPROVAL: Before the final defense can be scheduled the student must submit both the final draft of their paper and their PowerPoint slides to their supervisory committee. The committee approves the defense arrangements by completing the Defense Approval Form. The approval form must be submitted to the academic advisor before the defense announcement will be distributed. Once the committee approves to move forward with the scheduling of the final defense, the student will work with the academic advisor to schedule the time, location, and public posting of the defense.
• DEFENSE ANNOUNCEMENT: The date and time of the final defense must be widely publicized to the entire department at least ten business days prior to the date of defense.
• REPORT OF FINAL EXAMINATION FORM: Once a student has passed, the supervisory committee will sign off on this form. Please return this form to the academic advisor as soon as it is complete or no later than the last day of finals week during the semester the student plans to defend.
• FINAL WRITTEN RESEARCH PAPER: The research paper is due two weeks after the student’s final defense date or no later than the last day of finals week. A printed copy or emailed PDF must be submitted to the student’s supervisory committee and academic advisor after all edits are made. Failure to submit the final paper will delay graduation.
• JOURNAL SUBMISSION: Before the project/thesis is deemed complete the student must inform the academic advisor which journal they submitted their final paper for publication. This must be submitted by the last day of finals week.
• NOTE: All project/thesis forms must be returned to the academic advisor before the project/thesis can be deemed complete. Failure to do so may delay graduation.

CHECKLIST AND TIMELINE FOR FINAL DEFENSE

• Schedule planning meeting with chair of supervisory committee within the first two weeks of the semester the student plans to defend. This meeting will map out a timeline for completion
• Continue as deemed necessary
