Epiemiology PhD Program

The Ph.D program is esigne for stuents who plan to become inepenent researchers in epiemiology. Emphasis is on the evelopment an mastery of epiemiologic an biostatistical skills require for the highest levels of scholarship,investigation,an leaership in public health work. Stuents esign an complete their own investigator-initiate research projects,an are prepare to compete for research grant awars supporte by the National Institutes of Health an other agencies that fun epiemiology research. Learning experiences are pursue through coursework an reaings,apprenticeships with supervising faculty,participation on a research team,an completion of the issertation research project.

CREDITS

51 creits beyon the Master’s egree are require · 6 creits epiemiology courses · 6 creits avance biostatistics courses · 15 creits electives · 24 issertation creits
