PhD: Epidemiology

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

The PhD program in epidemiology prepares graduates for many career paths, including academia, non-governmental organizations, and public service at all levels of local, national, and international government. Faculty in epidemiology have a broad range of interests in health equity, chronic disease, cancer, nutrition, epidemiologic methods, and environmental epidemiology. Through rigorous theoretical and methodological training, students learn to conduct independent research that examines the distribution and determinants of health, and to translate their findings to public health policy and strategies to promote population health. The program encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds who have a clearly communicated interest in epidemiology and in promoting health equity.
