The doctoral programs are designed to prepare students both for professional leadership positions in the public or private sectors of public health and for academic careers in universities or research institutions. Recent graduates have taken positions with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Bank, and nongovernmental organizations and have assumed postdoctoral and teaching positions with universities in the United States and around the world.
Desired applicants have outstanding academic records, substantial relevant experience in the international public health arena, and professional interests relevant to the department. Applicants to the DPH program must hold an MPH and a prior doctoral degree. Though not required for the SD program, a master's degree is strongly recommended. Students are encouraged to enter the department's 80- credit master's degree program and apply to enter the doctoral program at a later date. Entry to the doctoral program will then depend upon outstanding performance in the master's degree program and acceptance through the regular doctoral program admission process.
In addition to schoolwide requirements, doctoral students must complete a common core of course work with a focus on global health. The core course work is completed in the first year. Core courses cover economics, ethics, politics, quantitative and qualitative methods, and population health measurement. The second year of the doctoral program usually involves both course work and research planning. Core courses cover economics, ethics, politics, quantitative and qualitative methods, and population health measurement.
