The PhD program in epidemiology prepares students for careers in health sciences research and education. Candidates choose between two specialized pathways: clinical/biological epidemiology (CBE) or social/behavioral epidemiology (SBE). Both tracks require at least 61 credits and concentrate on sophisticated epidemiological approaches, research methods, and data analysis techniques. The social/behavioral track examines how human behaviors emerge and evolve, shaped by individual traits, family dynamics, cultural contexts, and environmental factors. The clinical/biological track investigates disease causes, with particular attention to cardiovascular conditions, cancer, genetic factors, and infectious diseases.
