16 Graduate Catalog
GRADUATE CATALOG
The Graduate Catalog is the official listing of the policies governing
graduate education at the University of Maryland, College Park.
This Catalog documents policies and procedures set by the Graduate

Council and the Graduate School, and is updated each academic
semester to reflect changes and updates to policy. Information on
admissions policies, academic policies (including degree requirements),
registration policies, and financial aid and student support policies are
contained in the Catalog. Abstracts and information on academic degree
and certificate programs, a list of graduate-level courses by program, and
a roster of graduate faculty members are also included in each edition of
the Catalog.
The University of Maryland, the flagship institution of the University

System of Maryland, originated in 1856 as the Maryland Agricultural
College and became one of the country's first land-grant institutions in
1867. The state assumed authority over the College in 1920 and formed
the University of Maryland by joining the College with long-established
professional schools in Baltimore. In 1988, the General Assembly of
Maryland designated the College Park campus as the flagship institution
for the University System of Maryland, which comprises 13 institutions
across the state. The College Park campus is built around a central
mall, anchored by McKeldin Library and the Main Administration
Building. Fanning out from the mall are thirteen academic colleges. The
University's mission is to provide graduate and undergraduate education
of the highest quality, to pursue advanced research, and to serve the
needs of the State of Maryland.
The University of Maryland and its surrounding area provide boundless

opportunities for conducting research. The University's dynamic research
environment allows students from all disciplines to undertake scholarly
exploration of their special interests and to gain valuable practical
experience. It also enables faculty members to advance their own areas
of expertise and bring their research insights into the classroom. On
campus, special facilities and a number of organized research centers,
bureaus, and institutes promote the acquisition and analysis of new
knowledge in the arts, sciences, and applied fields.

Health Equity (HLEQ)

We are excited to inform you that we have changed the name of the on-
campus MHA to the MPH in Healthcare Management. The new name better
reflects the content of the degree that is designed to give students a strong
knowledge base in health care management and health service delivery
systems and an understanding of the basic and core principles of public
health. If you have any questions about the change, please contact Melvin
Seale at mseale@umd.edu.

Abstract
Maternal and Child Health is an interdisciplinary field in which empirical
research, epidemiological data, and policy analyses are used to
understand individual, family, community, and sociocultural factors that
influence health behaviors, health outcomes, and use of health services
by mothers, children, adolescents, and their families (including fathers).
The MCH doctoral program prepares students to advance research,

policy, and practice to improve the health, safety, and well-being of these
