This course is the first of a two course sequence required to meet the area H requirements of the GSU Signature Experience. Public Health Signature Experiences gives public health majors the opportunity to integrate, synthesize and apply their public health knowledge through cumulative and experiential activities. In this classroom based course, students will complete a variety of projects, and written assignments designed to assess the student’s acquisition of the required public health competencies covered within the public health major. Mastery of these competencies is required to receive the BSPH degree. The course encompasses a holistic review of the field of public health while integrating student reflection on what they have learned and how they may apply their knowledge to future educational and career aspirations. In this course students will develop a detailed project proposal to guide their applied signature experience which will be completed in one of five categories - Global, Research, City, Service Learning or Professional- during the second course in the sequence.
