Overview

Students learn to use rigorous epidemiologic methods and appropriate analyses to answer pressing research questions related to the public’s health. The master’s degree program will prepare you as a public health professional with expertise in:

application of modern statistical computing software, such as SAS and R, and statistical methods for large and complex data sets in public health and medicine;

data management of health-related cross-sectional, experimental, longitudinal and survey data;

study design and appropriate data analyses that can be used to accurately quantify and assess population-based, health-related outcomes; and

proficiently interpreting and presenting results to various audiences.

Epidemiology offered by Temple University is considered the foundational science of public health. It allows researchers and practitioners to identify and understand the descriptive characteristics, determinants and risk factors that influence the public’s health. Students in the Epidemiology MS degree program 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.
