The Department of Population Health Sciences offers a master of science in population health sciences, which provides a solid methodological and analytical foundation across broad population health sciences concepts, including basic study design, determinants of health, health disparities, implementation and evaluation, and policies and systems. The program consists of coursework, collaborative research projects, and hands-on experience. Students take advanced classes in applied analytics methods, foundational courses in population health sciences, research methods, and study design along with four electives. Real-world experience comes from a year- long capstone project during which students complete an internship and write a master’s paper. The program requires professional development seminars on topics including leadership and professional adaptability, networking and communication techniques, having a professional presence, and US employer expectations. Broadly, it is expected that students entering the MS Program in Population Health Sciences should have a background or strong interest in the social sciences, quantitative sciences, and health care.
