This specialization in the Master of Public Health degree is intended for clinicians who would like additional training in the methods most applicable for research in applied clinical settings. It draws on the tools of biostatistics and epidemiology along with such important considerations as law and ethics. A combination of classes, seminars, and mentored individual study helps students develop the ability to function as independent investigators. Students admitted to the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program are assigned a faculty advisor who will provide guidance throughout the program. This information serves as a resource to be used by the student and the faculty advisor in planning a program with a specialization in Clinical Translational Science (CTS). For detailed additional information about specific requirements, students are directed to the College of Public Health (CPH) Graduate Student Handbook and to the Graduate School Handbook
