The primary mission of the doctoral program in Public Health is to provide scholars with the disciplinary background and skills required to contribute to the development of our understanding of better ways to measure, maintain and improve the public’s health. Public health spans disciplines that use tools available in the laboratory, field research, social sciences, the public policy arena and mathematics. The core of this training includes the mastery of research tools in the specialty discipline chosen by the candidate. Students engage in a highly focused area of research reflecting scholarship at the doctoral level but are exposed to a broad view of public health as seen in the diverse research interests of the department’s faculty.

This PhD program offers six concentrations:

• Biostatistics
• Chronic Disease Epidemiology
• Environmental Health Sciences
• Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases
• Health Policy and Management
• Social and Behavioral Sciences
