The mission of the Master's of Epidemiology program is to launch the next generation of epidemiologists who will be integral to the design, conduct, and interpretation of population-based studies, and able to work at an exceptional level in academic, government, industry, or non-profit organizations. The primary mission of the Department of Epidemiology is to provide excellence in teaching and training in the field of epidemiology. The graduate program offers master's and doctoral degrees to prepare students for careers in research or professions in public health which require knowledge of advanced epidemiologic methods. We excel in research, education, and service covering the entire life-course for health outcomes in diverse populations, particularly focusing on critical windows of development (i.e., during and after pregnancy and during childhood and young adulthood). There are 19 primary faculty and more than 25 additional faculty associated with the Department of Epidemiology at the Brown School of Public Health. The graduate program offers a two-year Master of Science degree in Epidemiology. The master's program is designed to provide advanced training in the underlying principles and practice of epidemiology for students with little or no prior graduate- level training. Candidates for the Master of Science degree follow an integrated program of study comprising a minimum of 12 credits and a master's thesis.
