Descripción del programa

The Master of Science (ScM) degree program begins in late August/early September, with the first year devoted to coursework followed by research and thesis, usually requiring an additional year in residence. The ScM program requires that students complete at least 64 credits of coursework with a cumulative 2.75 GPA (B or higher average), successfully pass the written comprehensive exams, and produce a publishable quality manuscript of their own work. Students work closely with their advisers to develop their research questions and design their projects.

The MHS and ScM degrees are the same in regard to the required coursework, but they differ in the entrance and some thesis requirements.

The ScM is designed for students who have completed the prerequisite courses and have had at least one year of work experience in epidemiology or another scientific field. Successful applicants have published manuscripts and/or have conducted lab or field research. The ScM requires degree candidates to complete an original research project with depth and understanding of epidemiology and the topic area. ScM students submit their publishable quality thesis for approval to the University Graduate Board.

Both master's programs in epidemiology consist of coursework and a thesis.

The ScM thesis is a project requiring original data and scientific discovery. Many students pursuing this degree find themselves conducting a "mini doctoral dissertation" in terms of breadth and scope of their research.

The basic curriculum includes the three Epidemiologic Methods courses (340.751, 340.752, 340.753), a Biostatistics Sequence, Research Ethics and Perspectives, and overview/ survey courses, as well as electives deemed appropriate toward providing an academic framework and base for guided research.

The deadline for applications is March 1. Applications are on a first-come, first-served basis. The average review time from completed application to decision-in-hand is less than eight days, so applicants are encouraged to apply well before March 1. Applications for Fall 2021 started being reviewed in mid-November 2020.
