To take advantage of the momentum and success of "Public Health and Liberal Education," APTR, again in partnership with AAC&U, is announcing a second phase of the Educated Citizen and Public Health Initiative. In phase two, faculty and administrative teams from as many as 48 colleges and universities (both those with public health schools and programs and those without them) will gather for an intensive, two-day institute.

During the institute, selected teams will:

• Develop undergraduate curricula in public health. Curricula will include core courses, electives (based on institutional and faculty strengths and interests), and experiential learning opportunities. Such curricula may take the form of majors, minors, certificate programs, etc.
  
  
• Build collaborative capacity between public health educators and practitioners and faculty members teaching in the arts and sciences.
  
  
• Serve as national models for efforts to bridge liberal education and profession/pre-professional education.
  
  
• Create curricula models that link public health, liberal learning, and education for civic/social responsibility.
