Welcome

As a graduate student in our department, you will have an opportunity to broaden your knowledge and skills in the development, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of evidence-based interventions to promote population health. Faculty members in the department come from diverse academic backgrounds including anthropology, clinical and social psychology, sociology, social and behavioral epidemiology, and dietetics, applying state-of-the-art qualitative and quantitative analytic approaches to address current issues in population health.

After graduation, you will find opportunities to use your education to make an impact on population health in a variety of settings including government agencies such as state or local health departments, national agencies and organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the National Institutes of Health, private sector organizations such as the American Cancer Society, as well as health care settings, and academic institutions, among others. We look forward to helping you achieve your career goals.
