Syllabus Checklist
This checklist provides Brown University’s and the School of Public Health’s required and recommended syllabus components. Please be sure to read this document carefully.
Competencies and Domains
Many School of Public Health courses are required to teach and assess specific competencies or domains as part of our ongoing accreditation with the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). To learn which, if any, your course is assigned to teach, click on the button below to download the multi-tabbed Excel spreadsheet. After downloading the spreadsheet, open the left-most (the first) tab and scroll down to find your course. If your course isn’t listed, then your class hasn't been assigned any. If your course is listed multiple times, it has been assigned more than one. In each row in which your course number appears, click on the hyperlink in the cell to the right to go to the exact wording of the domain or competency that needs to appear in your syllabus. If it’s a competency, as opposed to a domain, the hyperlink will also take you to the assessment that needs to appear verbatim in your syllabus for that competency.
