CHSC 400 - Public Health Concepts and Practice

(3 SH - Completely Online Learning Format)

CHSC 400 provides an overview of the philosophy, purpose, history, organization, functions, tools, activities, and results of public health practice. There are no prerequisites. Enrollment is restricted to public health students; other graduate and professional students may be admitted as space permits by contacting the SPH Registrar (Renita Moore).

CHSC 400 is a 3 semester hour course that is offered in a completely online learning format each semester through the campus Blackboard Learning System. Relevant information is provided in the course Syllabus. Course materials and discussion boards are available only through the UIC Blackboard system. Additional information will be provided in e-mails to course registrants a week or so before the semester begins. An optional orientation session will be held during the first week of each semester. This orientation is not necessary for most students, but is offered to assist those who would like to become more familiar with the technical aspects of the course and/or meet the course instructors. The primary course instructor is Bernard Turnock.
