Epidemiology MPH-Global health track
The purpose of the Epidemiology MPH-Global Health Track degree program
is to combine broad training in public health with specific training
in the principles and methods of epidemiology. The degree requirements
include course work in epidemiology, biostatistics, health services and
environmental health; a practice experience in a public health agency
(practicum); and completion of a research-based master's thesis. The
degree is appropriate for individuals who possess an MD, DVM, DDS, ND,
or PhD degree who seek a career in public health practice or academia,
or medical students interested in a combined MD/MPH program. We also
consider exceptional individuals with a Bachelor's degree and health-related
background who seek the MPH to prepare for a master's-level career in
public health practice or research or who plan to apply to the PhD program
in Epidemiology after completion of an MPH.
