Epidemiology

The Epidemiology program trains future leaders in public health. Our curriculum is grounded in the methodologies of epidemiology and biostatistics enabling graduates to contribute new thinking to the field. These methodologies are applied to a broad  range of clinical and public health concerns domestically and globally, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, environmental exposures, infectious diseases, and reproduction.

Our graduates leave with strong methodological skills, poised to expand the scientific knowledge of the nature of disease in human populations by developing new theories and testing those theories through epidemiologic studies. They are well prepared for positions in academia, government, or private industry.

We are committed to a vision of epidemiology as more than a career for the disciplined mind. Epidemiology is a profession where one works collaboratively with others to solve real-world problems. It is a field for researchers who are concerned for others and seek to contribute to the betterment of mankind.
