The School of Public Health offers work leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Epidemiology. Master of Science students may apply to an optional Concentration in Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology. PhD students may apply to a Concentration in Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology or a Concentration in Maternal and Child Epidemiology. The PhD degree in Epidemiology educates students in the application of advanced epidemiologic research methods in preparation for independent research careers. This degree program prepares the student to play an important role in study design, data collection and processing, and in statistical analysis and interpretation in either the public or private sector. Students can pursue three other concentrations in epidemiology: the PhD in Cancer Epidemiology, the PhD in Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology and the PhD in Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology.
