The PhD in Epidemiology, for individuals aspiring to careers in research and/or teaching within universities or research organizations, trains students through an intensive curriculum in methodology. Doctoral students typically complete additional specialized training in a mathematical, biologic, or social science.
The interdepartmental PhD in Environmental and Molecular Toxicology provides doctoral training for the next generation of scientists well versed in cutting-edge research on the mechanisms by which exogenous chemicals and physical agents cause disease. Professional development is supported by an esteemed faculty, specialized core facilities, and a rich curriculum that includes training in toxicodynamics, mechanisms of human disease, molecular pharmacology, environmental science, epidemiology, and the ethics involved in biomedical research.
The PhD in Environmental Health Sciences develops in-depth skills and knowledge that enable graduates to perform independent original research on contemporary environmental and occupational health challenges. Students work with their faculty advisor to identify an area of focus, and develop an appropriate training plan and research activities. Areas of academic focus can include, but are not limited to: aerosol science, air quality, climate change, exposure science, industrial hygiene, policy analysis, epidemiology, toxicology, or water quality.
The PhD in Community Health Sciences is an academic degree that prepares students for a career in which research predominates. The curriculum integrates basic and applied approaches to address public health problems in the community, using the key tools of assessment, planning, and evaluation. Training for the PhD is highly specialized, emphasizing the in-depth expertise necessary for a research career. It emphasizes the integration of theory and research in a focused substantive area; this content area is developed by each student in consultation with their guidance committee.
