About Harvard Special Sessions
Every January, Teikyo University has invited five professors from
Harvard University,
University of Cambridge,
University of Oxford and
Durham University to provide intensive 4-days courses of lectures for our graduate program
of
public health since 2012 when the school program commenced. The courses cover five core frames required
by the Council of Education for Public Health:
Epidemiology,
Biostatistics,
Environmental Health Sciences,
Health Policy and Management, and
Social and Behavioral Sciences.
As the abridged version of the lectures of
Harvard School of Public Health, the certificates authorized by
professors of both Teikyo and Harvard University are issued to students upon completion of these courses.
This special session is a part of academic collaborations which both institutes have continued since 1993.
The past eight sessions attracted students from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asian countries including Thailand,
Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh, and China, and they brought a global atmosphere to classroom. We welcome and
look forward to having participants from various countries.
Participation style
There are two options to participate in the courses: (1) Registering for academic credit at Teikyo University, (2) Auditing the course (registration a class without earning credit). We welcome people from various countries/regions who want to master public health.
From Harvard Special Session 2017, regarding participation style, in addition to "credits" and "audit", "one day participation" has been adopted.
