Epidemiology of Infectious Disease

Education and research on aspects of infectious disease occur in a number of HSPH departments, including the Departments of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Health Policy and Management, Immunology and Infectious Diseases, and Population and International Health. These departments participate in the interdisciplinary concentration in the epidemiology of infectious disease, which focuses on population studies incorporating both epidemiologic and laboratory methods. This concentration is intended to provide training for those students who desire careers in research and teaching in infectious disease. As the concentration is a nondegree program, prospective students must apply to a program in one of the participating departments, which will issue the degree. Students are responsible for fulfilling the requirements of the academic program within the home department in addition to the requirements of the concentration.
