This program explores why people behave the way they do in relation to their health and wellness. You will be trained to improve public health by developing, promoting, and researching community-wide initiatives to encourage healthy living practices to prevent disease and injury. This concentration is best for those who seek a career that involves applying epidemiological methods to the breadth of settings and situations in public health practice, analyzing quantitative and qualitative data using biostatistics, informatics, computer-based programming and software, and interpreting results of data analysis for public health research, policy or practice.

With an MPH in Biostatistics, you would know how to collect and analyze health information to forecast scenarios and make important health, economic or policy recommendations. A joint concentration in biostatistics and epidemiology prepares you to interpret data, communicate findings, use data to describe the health of populations, and critically analyze the literature. Both are great preparation for one of the most highly sought-after, best-paid roles in the United States today.

This MPH in Epidemiology achieves two key goals. First, it trains students to master foundational areas of epidemiology methods and study designs. At the same time, it arms them with the analytical skills and hands-on know-how for further study or a wide range of careers, from hospitals and departments of health to the insurance industry and non-profit organizations.

This MPH program is a management core degree that features an additional emphasis on population health and health policy. It shares the same management core courses and internship process with MHA students. Whichever modules you choose, you’ll be ready for senior leadership roles in a wide range of public, private and not-for-profit organizations committed to improving health care delivery systems, access to healthcare services, and reducing risks to the public’s health.
