Printer friendly page

Health Policy and Management graduate students gain practical experience and problem solving skills through internships, an integral part of the academic program at UGA. As interns, students work with companies, not-for-profit organizations, academic researchers, and federal, state or local government agencies. Graduate students recieve 6 hours of course credit for internships. Most interns work from 12 to 40 hours per week for a 10 to 15 week period and some positions are compensated by the host organization. To meet the requirment for graduation with an MPH, students must complete at least 300 hours of internship work. Students consistently rate the internship experience as one of the most valuable parts of their education.
