A small number of students are admitted directly into the PhD program or joint MPH/PhD. Others are selected to continue in the doctoral track following completion of their MPH. Doctoral students further their historical training by completing the requirements for a doctorate degree as required by the Department of Sociomedical Sciences and the History Department of Columbia’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

The PhD prepares students for university professorships and leadership positions in government, voluntary, and private agencies. To learn more about the PhD Program please visit the Department of Sociomedical Science.
