Our graduate programs encompass three broadly defined disciplines, which can be applied to Public Health and听are designed to provide training in both theory and practice.听In our master's programs, students synthesize their training in the form of either a thesis or a project.听Our Doctoral programs provide students with training that is essential to becoming independent scientific researchers. Our programs integrate coursework, practical experience, teaching experience, and completion of a doctoral thesis that contributes to the field, both in originality and knowledge.
