The essay may consist of secondary data analysis or a comprehensive literature review and is designed for people new to the field and for those who want to gain the quantitative skills necessary to conduct research. The thesis is considered 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 - 340.753, one of the four course sequences in Biostatistics, Research Ethics and Perspectives, and overview / survey courses as well as electives deemed appropriate toward providing an academic framework and base for guided research. We also support the school-wide master of public health degree program for public health professionals interested in developing quantitative and analytical skills in epidemiology. Master's students meet as a group four times per year for lunches and discussion. Graduating students present a poster session each May open to the public.
