Master of Public Health (MPH) in Epidemiology

Degree Overview: This degree is designed to provide a breadth of

achievement in the five core disciplines of public health, as well as additional knowledge and skills in epidemiology. The goal of this program is to prepare students to put epidemiologic concepts and methods into public health practice; to conduct research studies in public health; and to interpret scientific evidence relevant to public health.

To obtain a basic understanding of epidemiologic principles and practice in the broader context of public health, full-time students will ordinarily complete the course sequence in two years. A minimum of 45 credit hours is required. It is strongly recommended that students use the framework found on pages 8-9 of this brochure to structure the foundation of their academic plan. However, a student may request a course waiver, provided the student and advisor can document comparability in the learned or experienced competencies. To request an exemption, a waiver form must be submitted along with the required documentation and approvals. A minimum of 2 epidemiology elective courses are required and should total a minimum of 5 credit hours.

Additionally, the MPH degree requires the completion of a formal practicum involving the application of public health science and theory, and the completion of a culminating experience. The practicum consists of an organized internship at an agency or organization that is engaged in work related to public health (normally outside the SPH). The student is expected to spend a minimum of 12 hours per week (approximately 180-200 hours total) at the practicum site.

The culminating experience may take several forms including a thesis (written paper) or capstone course which meets criteria set forth by the SPH. All MPH students must present their culminating experience projects in a public forum prior to graduation. Students are required to complete the MPH program requirements within five years.

Advisor:

The SPH assigns an advisor to each MPH student during the first semester in which they are enrolled. With approval from the Office of Student Affairs, a student may change advisors. MPH students who choose to complete the capstone course for their culminating experience do not need any additional committee members other than the primary faculty advisor. For students who choose to complete a thesis or written report for their culminating experience, the committee must consist of the student and the primary faculty advisor, as well as one additional member from the Department of Epidemiology, Human Genetics, and Environmental Sciences, or other department. The student may choose to appoint an additional committee member(s) to represent an area of particular academic/research interest after discussing this option with their primary advisor.

Competencies:

The Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) defines the MPH core competencies as a unique set of applied knowledge, skills, and other attributes, grounded in theory and evidence, for the broad practice of public health. Mastery of these competencies should prepare students to successfully complete the credentialing examination. The following competencies are specific to the discipline of epidemiology.

Master of Science (MS) in Epidemiology

Degree Overview:

This is a research degree, designed to provide an in-depth understanding of epidemiologic concepts, theories and methodology. To a large extent, this degree program will be arranged by each student, in consultation with the advisory committee, in order to meet the student’s specific educational goals. Adequate understanding of human diseases, including their natural history, etiology, pathogenesis, and prevention or control, may require moderate or advanced preparation in related laboratory or clinical disciplines, genetics, behavioral sciences, or environmental sciences. Students are encouraged to draw upon outside resources (academic, governmental, clinical, etc.) in order to acquire the knowledge and skills requisite to their specific educational goals.

To obtain a basic understanding of epidemiologic principles, concepts, methods, and their applications, a full-time student will ordinarily complete the course sequence in two years. A minimum of 12 courses and 36 credit hours is required. It is strongly recommended that students use the framework found on page 13 of this brochure to structure the foundations of their academic plan. However, a student may request a course waiver, provided the student and advisor can document comparability in the learned or experienced competencies. To request an exemption, a waiver form must be submitted along with the required documentation and approvals. A minimum of 2 epidemiology elective courses are required and should total a minimum of 5 credit hours.

Students pursuing an MS in Epidemiology are required to select one minor area of study from a different department. The course information on page 13 does not reflect course requirements that are required for minor. In addition to coursework, the MS in Epidemiology degree program requires the successful completion of a research thesis that demonstrates an appropriate depth of knowledge in the field. All MS students must present their thesis work in a public forum prior to

PhD in Epidemiology

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Epidemiology

Degree Overview: This degree signifies outstanding scholarly achievement

including a mastery of epidemiologic concepts, theories, and methodology and a significant capacity for independent study. Students in this degree program prepare themselves to become independent epidemiologic investigators and also will acquire some teaching experience.

For students with a prior master’s degree in Epidemiology or Public Health, a minimum of 48 credit hours are required for the PhD in Epidemiology degree program. Students may also be admitted directly into the PhD degree program with a Bachelor’s degree as outlined in the Direct Admission requirements. Students directly admitted into the PhD degree program (with only a previous undergraduate degree) must complete a minimum of 72 credit hours. All students must complete PhD program requirements within seven years.

Doctoral students must pass a preliminary examination and successfully defend their dissertation research proposal for admission to doctoral candidacy. After successful completion of the preliminary examination, the final degree requirement is the completion of an original research dissertation, which the doctoral candidate will present and defend in a public forum. Students pursuing a PhD in Epidemiology are required to select one disciplinary minor area of study. The minor (9 credit hours) is chosen from a different department. The student is also required to choose a second minor discipline or a breadth. A breadth is a three course sequence (at least 9 credit hours). The breadth should be a topic- or methods-related interdisciplinary set courses based on the student’s research interest, methods required for the dissertation, and/or future plans. Because one purpose of the breadth is to expand the coverage of the five public health disciplines, whenever possible, at least one of the courses should be outside of the student’s major or minor disciplines.

15

PhD in Epidemiology

Admission Requirements (48 credit hours):

Prior MS or MPH in Epidemiology from a regionally accredited university or college, or other accomplishments which indicate similar readiness for doctoral study in epidemiology.

Outstanding promise of scholarly accomplishment and research capability.


Graduate Record Exam (GRE). Applicants holding previous doctoral level degrees from accredited US or Canadian universities may request an exemption from the GRE requirement.

Applicants who are nationals of countries where English is not the primary language are required to submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign language (TOEFL).

Direct Admission (72 credit hours)

Students who apply for direct admission into the PhD program will instead require the following:

A Bachelor’s degree that indicates the development of strong scientific and analytical skills,

Evidence of solid academic achievement, including the completion of advanced courses in a biological science, at least two semesters of college-level calculus courses (or the equivalent), and at least one course in statistics, and

Items 2—5 listed in the Admissions Requirements section above.

Conditional Admission to Doctoral Programs Applicants to the doctoral program who have a master’s degree

in an unrelated area of study, but who otherwise meet admission standards, may be admitted with “conditional admission” to the PhD in Epidemiology degree program. Once students have satisfied the conditions of completing unmet courses listed in the admissions letter with a grade of at least a ‘B’, the conditions will be removed from the student’s record. Conditions must be met prior to the preliminary examination and students who fail to complete the conditions will be discontinued from the program. Completed courses necessary to satisfy the listed conditions will appear on the student’s transcript, but will not be applied toward the doctoral degree.

16

PhD in Epidemiology

Competencies:

All graduates of the PhD in Epidemiology degree program are expected to be independent investigators capable of developing epidemiological methods and applying them to problems of human health and disease. They are expected to be capable of following academic careers in teaching and research, or of eventually occupying senior positions in governmental or private health research agencies.

Graduates must attain the following specific competencies:

1. Use basic and advanced philosophy, theory (including causal inference), and principles of epidemiology in the practice of science.

2. Summarize the history of epidemiology and its role within the broader field of public health.

3. Describe the natural history of one or more specific diseases or health conditions, including consideration of causation, control, and prevention.

4. Apply basic and advanced principles and methods of epidemiology to research questions.

5. Apply advanced quantitative methods to the study of human behavior, population characteristics, and the physical environment.

6. Design an epidemiological study, and critically analyze and interpret study data.


8. Address and apply ethical issues in the practice of epidemiology.

9. Clearly communicate with and instruct others regarding principles of epidemiology.

17

PhD in Epidemiology

Academic Committee:

During the admissions process, a faculty advisor from the Department of Epidemiology, Human Genetics, and Environmental Sciences is identified for each doctoral student. With approval from the Office of Student Affairs, a student may change their advisor. Prior to the preliminary examination, the committee consists of the student and primary faculty advisor. Additional members are not required but may be added prior to the preliminary examination. A student may select an additional committee member to represent special academic/research interests or to augment the committee's expertise in epidemiology. This optional committee member does not need to be a regular faculty member and may belong to another academic institution.

Preliminary Examination: This examination is designed to test both the student's depth of

knowledge in the major area of study and to test the student’s ability to conceive and conduct independent epidemiologic research. The preliminary examination is given by this department two times per year. A faculty committee develops and administers the exam. The student must be enrolled during the semester the preliminary examination is taken. Successful completion of the preliminary examination and defense of the dissertation research proposal converts the doctoral student to a doctoral candidate.

There are 5 courses required before the student may take the preliminary examination. These courses can be taken in two semesters, so a doctoral student may sit for the preliminary examination at the end of two semesters of study. The 5 courses are: PH 2710, PHD 2711, PHD 2712 or PH 1835, PH 1830 or PH 1831 and one epidemiology elective. After the exam, students should take PHD 2770 or PH 2720 and other courses specific to the students’ research agenda, including courses in their declared minor and three courses in their declared breadth.

All students who pursue a PhD in Epidemiology must pass the preliminary examination and the dissertation proposal defense. The final degree requirement is the completion of an original research dissertation in an area of Epidemiology, which the doctoral candidate will present and defend in a public forum.

18

PhD in Epidemiology

Dissertation Committee:

Upon successful completion of the preliminary examination, the student forms a dissertation proposal defense committee and develops their dissertation research proposal. After successful defense of their dissertation research proposal, the student officially becomes a doctoral candidate.

Both the dissertation proposal defense committee and the dissertation committee are at a minimum comprised of the committee chair, a minor advisor, a minor/breadth advisor, and an external reviewer.

The dissertation requirement is fulfilled when the doctoral candidate has defended their work in a public forum at the school, the document has been approved and signed by all members of the dissertation committee, and a copy has been filed in the Dean’s office.

Students are expected to complete the PhD in Epidemiology within four years from the date of their admission to doctoral candidacy (following the successful completion of their preliminary examination), not to exceed seven years total time in the degree program.

19

PhD in Epidemiology

Course of Study:

After entering the PhD degree program, the student and academic advisor will develop a unique academic plan that includes coursework relevant to the student’s academic and research goals.

It is strongly recommended that students use the framework found on the following page 21 of this brochure to structure the foundations of their academic plan. However, a student may request a course waiver, provided the student and advisor can document comparability in the learned or experienced competencies. To request an exemption, a waiver form must be submitted along with the required documentation and approvals.

In addition to the methods courses, students are required to take a minimum of nine credit hours for both the minor and the breadth areas of study. The course information on the following page does not reflect course requirements that are required for minor or breadth areas of study.
