The Master of Science (M.S.) degree program in Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH) is designed with an emphasis on mastering skills in Biostatistics and Chronic Disease Epidemiology. The M.S. track for Chronic Disease Epidemiology may be completed in one year as a full-time student. The M.S. track for Biostatistics is a two year program full-time. Students may be admitted to either program on a part-time basis. Part-time students must complete all degree requirements within five years of matriculation.

With the growth of biotechnology and medical research in the pharmaceutical industry there is a high demand for well-trained graduates in chronic disease epidemiology. Biostatisticians’ technical skills in data analysis are valued in managed care organizations, medical research, and the pharmaceutical industry.

The M.S. in EPH is offered through the department’s affiliation with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The departmental Doctoral Committee and the director of graduate studies (DGS) are responsible for overseeing the progress of M.S. students.

M.P.H. students in our traditional two–year program may complete this concentration while they satisfy the requirements of their respective divisions or programs. Students in the one–year Advanced Professional M.P.H. Program may enroll in a Global Health Track.

The Global Health Division exposes students to international public health practice by bringing leading experts in health from around the world to campus throughout the year to participate in formal and informal teaching, discussion and research. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in these activities.

The goal of the program in the division of Health Policy and Administration (HPA) is to develop outstanding decision makers, critical thinkers, and future leaders in both the public and private sectors of the health system. Graduates are employed in a variety of health care delivery settings (e.g., hospitals, managed care organizations, public health departments, consulting and pharmaceutical companies, as well as federal, state, and local government agencies).

Students enrolled in the Masters program within HPA choose one of two tracks:

• Health Management
• Health Policy

Teaching objectives of the division include:

• Provide students with a set of skills and principles essential for practice in health policy, health management, and public health.
• Enhance students' abilities to evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of health policies and programs, using rigorous research techniques and analytical reasoning.
• Provide opportunities for students to apply their newly developed skills and reasoning abilities to real-life health policy and health management problems, through community project experiences, the summer internship, and the thesis.
• Educate students about the breadth and determinants of health and how to affect them through policy.

In consultation with the faculty advisor, the student chooses among doctoral-level courses offered by the department as well as among courses offered by the medical school or by other Yale professional or graduate schools. Students often take an advanced seminar in their specialty area and present their work in this collegial forum. All candidates must become proficient in statistical analysis, research methods, and the application of epidemiology to the field in which they have special interest.

Upon receiving a PhD degree in Epidemiology and Public Health, the student will be able to:
* Describe basic public health principles.
* Critically evaluate public health and related literature.
* Discuss and critically evaluate the broad literature of the student’s discipline.
* Review in depth the background and research advances in the student’s specific research area.
* Apply at an advanced level the research methodology of the student’s broader discipline and, in particular, the student’s specific research area.
* Present research to colleagues and professionals on a national and international level at professional meetings.
* Teach a course in the student’s broad discipline.
* Explain the principles of research ethics and apply these principles to specific research projects.
* Design and conduct an advanced, original research project in the student’s discipline.
* Generate data to create publishable manuscripts that represent important contributions to the literatur.

The Division of Biostatistics trains students to develop and apply statistical principles and methods to problems in health sciences, medicine, and biology. Biostatistics is one of the skills necessary for the development and practice of public health – the methods of this discipline are appropriate for quantifying the possible effects of risk factors and health interventions on individuals and groups. A graduate of the Biostatistics M.P.H. program is able to specify and produce valid study designs, perform database management and produce working tables and statistical summaries, analyze data in terms of stated hypotheses, generate new hypotheses, and properly interpret study results.

In their daily lives individuals are exposed to a wide range of biological, chemical and physical environmental stressors. In the Division of Environmental Health Sciences, our focus is to recognize and assess the impact of environmental health hazards on people in the community and workplace.
Students in Environmental Health Sciences Division (EHS) can choose tracks in environmental epidemiology, environmental policy, or risk assessment. Within these tracks there is flexibility for students to design, with their advisor, a program to meet individual needs. Students may take advantage of the wide variety of courses relevant to environmental health offered by the Division, the school, and throughout the University, particularly those in the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.
The focus of EHS is to produce graduates who are able to identify environmental stressors, evaluate their hazard potential, assess human exposures to them, estimate their potential impact on human health, and establish the associated risk level for the population. Specifically, graduates obtain the skills to:

• Understand the basic principles of how contaminants are introduced into the air, water, soil, and food, and are then transported through the environment
• Recognize the chemical, physical, and biological environmental stressors and evaluate their potential hazard to human health and comfort in the working, residential and community environments
• Recognize the process by which policies are developed to regulate environmental hazards
• Understand the basic principles used to manage risks associated with exposures to environmental hazards
