Epidemiology and Public Health

The Ph.D. program in epidemiology and public health is a research-focused program extending over 4 academic years. Throughout the program, students will identify the research problem and the gap of knowledge that the research results are expected to bridge. Under the guidance of faculty, students will develop a research proposal that will be implemented. The implementation of the research may include community-based research or hospital-based research, or laboratory-based research or a combination. Graduates of this program are expected to pursue future careers in epidemiologic research, leadership role, or high-level administrative positions in public health settings.
