Graduates of the doctoral programs are prepared for research, teaching or leadership roles in health care and policy agencies.

DrPH students enter the program with an MPH or equivalent degree; required coursework for the DrPH is 30 credits of course work. This includes the two-semester SMS doctoral fundamentals course, core social science courses and advanced quantitative and qualitative research methods courses.
