The Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) is a professional graduate degree designed to equip students with practical skills across five specialized tracks: Biostatistics, Community Health, Environmental Health, Epidemiology, and Health Services Administration. Each focus area delivers targeted training to prepare graduates for careers in their chosen field.
The Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology administers the M.P.H. programs for biostatistics and epidemiology, while other departments oversee the remaining concentrations.
Numerous courses are offered online via distance learning platforms. Notably, the Biostatistics concentration can be completed entirely through online coursework.
Biostatistics focuses on quantitative methods, teaching students data collection, management, and analysis techniques for public health applications. This concentration covers fundamental analytical approaches and statistical software applications. Professionals with biostatistical expertise play a crucial role in interpreting health data to inform disease prevention strategies and health promotion initiatives. Prospective students should possess strong mathematical abilities for this quantitative discipline.
