Master of Public Health (MPH)
The Department of Epidemiology co-sponsors two areas of concentration in
the school-wide master of public health degree
program for public health professionals interested in developing
quantitative and analytical skills in epidemiology.
In conjunction with the Department of Biostatistics, the Department of
Epidemiology supports the MPH
Concentration in Epidemiological & Biostatistics Methods for Public Health
and Clinical Research. This is intended for public health professionals
interested in developing quantitative and analytical skills in epidemiology and
biostatistics.
The course of study is designed for students with quantitative
backgrounds who are seeking to gain additional skills in epidemiologic study
design and statistical data analysis. The goal of this concentration is to
prepare students to participate in the design, conduct and analysis of research
studies in public health and to translate epidemiologic concepts into practice.
This concentration is best suited for students who have already worked in a
particular substantive area and have identified specific research questions.
Students are required to complete a four-term sequence in both epidemiology and
biostatistics.
Several other courses are recommended depending on the student's
interests and research needs in specific areas, such as meta-analysis, health survey
methods, clinical trials, study design and grant proposal development, survival
analysis, data management, and other special topics.

In conjunction with the Departments of International Health and Molecular
Microbiology and Immunology, the Department of Epidemiology support the MPH Concentration in
Infectious Diseases.
This concentration provides students with competencies
in multiple disciplines including epidemiology, immunology, microbiology,
parasitology and vector-borne diseases to address critical problems in the
control and prevention of infectious diseases.
Students who complete the concentration will gain special expertise in
the pathogenesis, epidemiology and control of infectious diseases appropriate
for careers within state health departments, federal agencies conducting
research in the pathogenesis, epidemiology and control of infectious diseases
or the pharmaceutical industry. Students will be exposed to the
fundamental concepts underlying the epidemiology and control of a number of
infectious diseases affecting global health. Students take courses in each of
the following five areas: Epidemiology, Microbiology, Parasitology and
Tropical Diseases, Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, and Immunology.
