About This Program

Ideal for individuals with strong science and mathematics skills with at least one year of full-time research and/or full-time work experience, the ScM in Epidemiology is a two-year, intensive research degree program that focuses on applying epidemiological and biostatistical methods to a variety of current public health issues. Successful applicants are motivated to use advanced quantitative methods to analyze public health information and to use a translational approach to communicate results. Students select and specialize in one of the research tracks listed below and are expected to complete at least 64 credit units in epidemiology, biostatistics, and elective courses, pass a written comprehensive exam, produce a publishable-quality manuscript based on original research, and present their research during an annual poster symposium. Graduates from the ScM often continue to work in academic research upon graduation and many pursue PhD degrees in a variety of public health arenas after some years of work experience.
