Epidemiology Emphasis, M.P.H.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degrees Offered

The epidemiology emphasis is designed for students seeking to acquire skills in the fundamental methods of disease investigation and prevention in large populations. Courses emphasize basic and advanced epidemiologic principles and their application to current problems in public health and related disciplines. Students in the epidemiology emphasis are expected to use appropriate methods to plan, implement, and conduct epidemiologic research. Students are also expected to critically evaluate research methodology to assess validity and potential sources of bias. Skills in computer use and statistics acquired in the public health program are used to analyze, interpret, and disseminate the results of epidemiologic investigation.

Note(s):


In addition to the MPH core courses listed above, students in the epidemiology emphasis also take the courses below. Please note the course progression.

C. MPH Culimnating Experience (9 units)

The composition of this 4 member committee will include: MSN advisor, MPH advisor, Graduate School Representative, and a Community Preceptor.
