Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

In the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree program at the Bloomberg School, students focus on the creation of new and innovative knowledge – it’s primarily a degree for individuals with goals in public health research or teaching.

The Johns Hopkins University Graduate Board oversees the PhD degree program and its requirements, which entail coursework and independent research. Generally, the program consists of one to two years of full-time coursework, followed by two to five years of full-time, independent research.

The Bloomberg School PhD degree program ensures that you have a breadth and depth of knowledge in a particular discipline or area. Then, your ability to conduct research is assessed by the preparation of a written dissertation.

Every department at the Bloomberg School offers a PhD program, so it’s important to contact your department of interest for more information.
