The epidemiology concentration is designed for students seeking to acquire skills in the fundamental methods of disease investigation and prevention in large populations. Concentration courses emphasize basic and advanced epidemiologic principles and their application to current problems in public health and related disciplines. Students in the epidemiology concentration are expected to use appropriate methods to plan, implement, and conduct epidemiologic research.
