Introduction
Epidemiology is the science that studies the distribution, determinants, and patterns of disease in human populations. It is a cornerstone of public health and informs policy decisions and evidence-based clinical practice by identifying risk factors for disease and preventive healthcare targets. Our MS in Epidemiology program in the Department of Public Health Sciences is a 34-credit course of study designed to provide students with the methodologies and skills needed to 1) carry out research and manage public health programs to identify correlates of disease that may be targets of primary prevention; 2) evaluate the consequences of changes in health care delivery on populations, and 3) to accommodate the growing need to integrate and analyze large-scale information. Our MS program sits within a large urban medical center and all its clinical research resources and collaborative faculty at the University of Rochester. The University is home to numerous health sciences graduate programs and a large, diverse student body. Students completing the program will be well prepared to take academic research, private industry, government, and non-profit agencies.
