The Ph.D. in Public Health has a unique purpose: to educate graduate students in performing groundbreaking research on population health determinants and applying this knowledge to enhance disease and disability prevention approaches. Those completing the Ph.D. will be equipped for independent and team-based research careers, as well as for teaching at higher education levels. Ph.D. candidates must specialize in either Global Health or Disease Prevention.
The Global Health research specialization aims to cultivate research excellence by involving students in hypothesis-based projects examining worldwide disease patterns and population health enhancement. This program appeals to those interested in studying the connections between risk factors, vulnerabilities, and illnesses. Research may explore methods to adapt successful health interventions from one region to underserved areas. Students gain comprehensive skills for global health research, focusing on risk analysis, vulnerability evaluation, and knowledge application to lessen disease impact.
Global Health Concentration graduates will achieve these learning outcomes:
Understand key theoretical foundations driving global health research progress.
Articulate how theory and research methods connect in studying risk, vulnerability, and health outcomes globally.
Analyze and contrast disease burdens across diverse populations.
Develop research questions exploring the relationships between risk factors, at-risk groups, and disease prevalence.
Design research proposals and execute original studies that advance understanding of risk factors, disease variations, and global strategies for reducing health burdens.
