Our programs in Disaster Management develop the skills to prepare for, respond to and manage the public health aspects of natural and man-made disasters - locally to globally. The online graduate certificate is a non-degree program that provides skills in working within the management structure and operational models unique to disasters including; crises communication, population issues and psychosocial aspects of disasters.

Our Master of Public Health programs in Community Health Sciences focus on developing knowledge and skills to work with communities in addressing health needs and health disparities and improving quality of life. This work requires skills in social and behavioral aspects of community health, monitoring and evaluation of community-based programs, community training methodologies, and leadership approaches to promote community health and well-being.

Biostatistics utilizes statistical reasoning and quantitative methods applied to public health, medical settings, and research. Biostatistics involves the collection and analysis of data and the interpretation, inference, and visualization of these results. 

Whether you are interested in pursuing a master's, Ph.D. or joint degree, biostatistics is the choice for students who enjoy using data to solve problems in the areas of public health and medicine.

The one-year Master’s program will increase your competitiveness for medical schools or equivalent professional programs. We also offer a Ph.D. program that follows the regulations of the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. The MD/Ph.D. program is available to selected medical students who wish to consider research careers and medical practice.
