Epidemiology, a core discipline of public health, is the study of the distribution and risk factors of diseases and health conditions in populations. Our post-master’s Ph.D. program in Epidemiology prepares future researchers and public health practitioners to develop and conduct studies and apply quantitative methods to understand and solve complex public health problems. The program, through its rigorous coursework in epidemiologic and public health methods, electives and teaching experience, prepares graduates for a career in academia, government or industry. Full-time students can complete the degree requirements within four years, depending upon the design of their dissertation research. The PhD program in Epidemiology is offered in person only.
