About the Program

You're interested in learning more about research and academic opportunities as they relate to public health. You can actually build an entire career around public health research with an MS, and we can give you the skills you need to do so.

To get those skills, however, you need a curriculum that will immerse you in research practices and education experiences unique to your desired field. For instance, if you have a background in medicine or health professions, our clinical and translational science concentration can help you develop the skills you need for clinical research. In the environmental health toxicology concentration, you'll study how to assess environmental stressors and the risks they pose to humans. Or, consider the applied epidemiology concentration, where you'll focus on blending epidemiological research methods with didactic coursework and publication experiences. Interested in pharmacoepidemiology, study designs, policy, and sources of bias? Great. Our pharmacoepidemiology and comparative effectiveness research concentration is a great option for you. And finally, if you need to balance school with your busy work schedule, our outcomes research concentration is offered fully online and can train you to evaluate specific health-care treatments in a variety of settings.
