The Master of Science in Epidemiology (MSEPI) program trains students in the conceptual foundations and the methodological skills that are foundational in epidemiology. The program is designed to meet the needs of candidates who seek careers in government, academia, and industry - which all require advanced knowledge in conducting research and analyzing health data.

The MSEPI degree is also appropriate academic preparation for students who plan to continue their education for a PhD degree in epidemiology or a related discipline. Students will benefit from experiential learning opportunities and formal training in epidemiology, applied biostatistics, and data analysis programming as preparation for the scientific skills needed for undertaking applied research.
