MD/MPH Thesis

All MPH students are required to complete a thesis. There are no formal requirements for a candidacy examination in order to progress to writing a Master’s thesis for the MPH degree. Therefore, development of a Master’s thesis is an ongoing process during the student’s academic program. Students must submit their completed, approved (by the thesis advisor, thesis reader and MPH Program Director) MPH Thesis by the required thesis submission date established annually by the Brown Graduate school in the spring. In addition to the written thesis, students will also present their thesis at an event organized in the spring of their thesis submission.
