Preparing to Apply

Read First Epidemiology Programs and Admissions Criteria

• The School of Public Health and Community Medicine offers 50 degrees/tracks and 15 graduate certificates, so you must carefully consider which program best matches your qualifications and goals before applying.
• Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of disease in populations and the study of risk and preventive factors for disease.  A good in-depth discussion of epidemiology is located on the Association of Schools of Public Health website at www.asph.org
• If you are interested primarily in program design, implementation, assessment, health education or policy, or health services research, you should apply to Health Services or Global Health instead of Epidemiology
• Once you begin an application, you will have to start over if you decide to change your program or track.
