Masters of Science/Doctorate
(MS, PhD)
The Master of Science (MS) program offers a broad perspective
on political, psychological, and institutional issues
with particular emphasis on analytic and quantitative
skills. This "scientific" focus distinguishes
the MS degree from the MPH degree, which is more general.
The primary emphasis of the BMS Graduate Program is
the training of research scientists for careers in research,
teaching and/or public health in academia, government
or the private sector. The BMS Graduate Program provides
the opportunity to obtain a M.S. or a Ph.D. in the Biomedical
Sciences. The program leading to the M.S. degree is
designed to be completed in two years. The program leading
to the Ph.D. degree typically require five years of
full-time study.
Master's of Public Health (MPH)
The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a professional degree
designed to prepare graduates to tackle real public health
problems, as practitioners who can apply their breadth
of understanding as well as some degree of expertise and
experience in at least one specific area of public health.
The School's interdisciplinary MPH degree program allows
students to apply cutting edge scientific and technical
knowledge to preventing disease and promoting wellness
through organized community efforts. The diversity and
complexity of today's public health concerns require
practitioners who understand the political, ethical,
economic, and scientific concerns involved in addressing
the great challenges to the modern world. The school's
unique focus on linking academic studies with a broad
base of knowledge, skills and experience necessary to
meet today's public health challenges. All students
participate in at least two distinct public health internships.
