Epidemiological research focuses on analyzing how diseases and injuries spread among human populations. The M.S. in Epidemiology program provides specialized education for students seeking expertise in research methods for conducting epidemiological studies within specific health research fields. Graduates with a master's in epidemiology pursue careers in applied settings, such as disease monitoring and outbreak response, or in research environments, where they test hypotheses about how behavioral, biological, environmental, and social factors influence health. As epidemiology forms the foundation of disease prevention and control initiatives, this training is also essential for other public health and preventive medicine programs.

Temple University's College of Public Health offers a Master of Science in Epidemiology that equips students for advanced research and careers in the field. The curriculum teaches rigorous epidemiological techniques and analytical approaches to address critical public health questions. This program trains public health professionals in using statistical software like SAS and R, managing diverse health datasets (cross-sectional, experimental, longitudinal, and survey data), designing studies, and performing accurate analyses to evaluate population health outcomes. Students also develop skills in effectively communicating findings to different audiences.
