Master of Public Health in Epidemiology

Program Overview

The Master of Public Health in Epidemiology in Temple’s College of Public Health prepares students for practice- and research-oriented careers in epidemiology. Students learn to use rigorous epidemiologic methods and appropriate analyses to answer pressing research questions related to the public’s health. The STEM-designated master’s degree program will prepare you as a public health professional with expertise in

  • Critical evaluation of existing public health research;
  • Study design and appropriate application of methods to address confounding and bias and accurately quantify and assess population-based, health-related outcomes;
  • Application of modern statistical computing software, such as SAS and R, to conduct data analyses and answer public health questions;
  • Interpreting measures of frequency and association within a public health context; and
  • Real-world problem solving through experimental training.

Epidemiology is considered the foundational science of public health—it allows us to identify and understand the descriptive characteristics, determinants and risk factors that influence the public’s health. Students in the Epidemiology MPH examine complex global and local challenges related to chronic and infectious diseases; train to understand determinants of, and methodological issues in, cancer and social epidemiology; and apply their knowledge and skills to develop projects that seek to answer timely research questions in community settings.  

Our graduates are prepared to work in a wide range of settings. Students who select electives in advanced epidemiologic methods and biostatistics are also well-prepared for doctoral programs in epidemiology.
