Epidemiology, considered a fundamental science of public health, is the study of the distribution and determinants of disease and disability in populations.

The Doctoral Program in Epidemiology is a research degree, centered on a major dissertation research project within a broad public health context. <br><br>The Ph.D. program is designed to educate persons to be independent researchers and public health professionals in academia, research institutes, government or industry. While graduates sometimes seek additional training after graduation through postdoctoral fellowships, a graduate of the Ph.D. program is prepared to be a faculty member of a graduate program in a university or in a position in a public health organization, multidisciplinary setting, government or industry.<br><br>The Ph.D. program in Epidemiology requires that applicants have a solid foundation of knowledge of concepts and skills of epidemiology, an understanding of public health concepts and the public health perspective, and the ability to read and understand reports of clinical and epidemiological studies.
