This degree provides a high-quality foundation in health research methodology and analysis through collaboration with faculty as well as community and clinical mentors. Currently, our faculty are working on a wide range of projects, including the development and implementation of dynamic modeling for COVID-19 disease transmission, public health strategies, and vaccination distribution. Additional projects include health disparities research and policy evaluation, including statewide and national mandates pertaining to the opioid epidemic and COVID-19 pandemic. Assistantships in research and teaching give students opportunities to work on these funded research projects and build skills in:
Statistical and mathematical modeling
Epidemiological research design and analysis
Policy and Health economics analysis
Clinical and community-based intervention effectiveness
Bioinformatics
Students with experience or coursework in research and statistics or those with a strong quantitative background are preferred.
