The MS in Epidemiology, an academic, research-oriented degree often pursued in preparation for a doctoral degree, readies students for research careers in academia, government, or industry through intensive coursework in areas such as epidemiologic methods, biostatistics, data management, chronic disease epidemiology, and global and infectious disease epidemiology, along with a major research project.
The MPH in Epidemiology, a two-year professional degree program, provides broad training in public health and epidemiology. Graduates leave with marketable skills, including study design, data management, and data analysis. They are prepared to improve population health in any of a variety of settings, including government, non-governmental organizations, healthcare organizations, academia, and industry.
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.
