In short, Epidemiology explores what causes diseases, how they are spread, and what populations are affected and are at risk. The MPH in Epidemiology is one of the more common concentrations, as it sets the base for public health.
What is Epidemiology?
According to The World Health Organization, Epidemiology is the “study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including disease), and the application of this study to the control of diseases and other health problems.”
Epidemiology MPH Programs:
There are many programs in our database that focus on Epidemiology. Because Epidemiology is one of the more generic concentrations of public health, there are combination tracks for some programs. You can expect combined tracks in some of the following areas of public health: Clinical Research, Biostatistics, Disease Control, Maternal and Child Health, Microbial Diseases, International Health, and Occupational Epidemiology.
