The Epidemiology MPH program provides a strong foundation in epidemiology and biostatistics, as well as the other core competencies of public health.  It provides a clinically relevant educational and practical experience based on research excellence.  Students are trained to engage in research and/or applied public health practice activities that impact public health by evaluating and responding to important public health issues such as infectious diseases, aging, and chronic disease prevention, global, reproductive, or environmental health, population neuroscience, and injury prevention. 

Recent graduates are employed at state, county, and local health departments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, hospitals, pharmaceutical and consulting companies. Some pursue medical or dental careers or doctoral programs in epidemiology or biostatistics.
