*MPH/MS/PhD Program Essentials Modules and PH 701
In this entirely asynchronous course, students will work at their own pace through online modules. The course opens in Canvas on June 5, 2023 and students must complete about 18 hours of work by midnight on June 30. There are no intermediate deadlines for portions of the course. Modules will introduce students to essential resources and support, refresh academic skills, and explain expectations and policies. One module fulfills Dartmouth’s professional ethics requirement for all first-year graduate students.
**Public Health Foundations Course
The Public Health Foundations course is about 25 hours of work (0.25 units). This course is entirely online and asynchronous. Although there are no class sessions and students can choose when to do the work, there will be intermediate deadlines. Specifically, assignments are due each Sunday. Students may work at their own pace during each week or submit assignments early for later weeks. This course runs July 7-23. Hybrid residential week begins Monday, July 31.
To apply for federal student loan eligibility, all students need to complete the following two steps:
1) File the FAFSA. Dartmouth's school code is 002573
2) Submit the Dartmouth College Graduate Student Financial Aid Application.
We recommend that you submit these forms as soon as possible to ensure the timely processing of your materials. We need both forms to generate the official award package. Please visit Dartmouth's Financial Aid website for more information.
Please note that dates are subject to change as details are finalized.
