Other MPH Options

Epidemiology is the study of the spread, prevention and control of disease in a community or a group of persons. It includes the study of disease outcomes, medical effectiveness, quality of care, cost effectiveness and the performance of health care organizations.

The job market in epidemiology is strong and growing. Students who earn this degree are prepared to carry out epidemiologic activities in community health programs, private sector organizations or academic settings.

Under this concentration, courses emphasizing epidemiologic, statistical and computer methods supplement the fundamental public health training that lies at the core of the MPH program.
