Doctor of Public Health (Dr.PH.)

A program leading to the Doctor of Public Health degree may be pursued in the Department's current areas of research activity and specialization, or in any other area involving study of sociobehavioral aspects of health. Training in research methods drawn from public health and the social sciences is emphasized. Following completion of coursework and comprehensive examinations, students complete a dissertation on a problem or issue in the health field of interest to them, using social science theories, concepts, and methods. Graduates of the program will be prepared to enter research and teaching positions in health professional schools, or to engage in health research in a variety of settings including government, hospitals and health care agencies, and health planning and consulting organizations.

Applicants who wish consideration for Departmental tuition support must submit their applications by January 3.
