Epidemiology Track
The 43 credit-hour curriculum prepares students with a cross-section of coursework in research, epidemiologic methods as well as infectious and chronic diseases.
Due to the emergence of new diseases, demand is increasing for epidemiologists in several areas including public health agencies and healthcare delivery systems.
Acute shortages exist nationally and internationally for health professionals, researchers and engineers trained in public health techniques, outcomes research and population survey methods.
The Health Management and Policy track addresses the rapid changes occurring in both the private and public sectors of healthcare.
Health Management & Policy Track
