Public Health Practicum
The Public Health Practicum, or applied practice, component of the UC Berkeley Online/On-campus Master of Public Health (OOMPH) program provides a structured pathway to obtain practical experience in the field, and an opportunity to practice the skills acquired in the classroom. This experience deepens the understanding of the impact of public health strategies on population health, broadens exposure to opportunities in the field, and expands networks of professional contacts.
Comprehensive Exam
The final comprehensive exam is administered during the last semester of the program. The exam tests your ability to apply what you’ve learned to real-world practice. A campus visit is not required; however, a registered proctor is.
