Harvard Epidemiology Masters Program

Which Masters program is right for you?

The Harvard Chan School offers multiple options to obtain Masters level training in quantitative methods for epidemiologic and other clinical research through a Master of Science in Epidemiology or a Master in Public Health.

Programs are tailored for those with varying levels of experience and different scheduling requirements. We have traditional academic year (September through May) programs, as well as summer-only and blended online/on-campus programs.

Selecting a program that fits your needs and aligns with your current experience in Public Health and related fields is the first step in the application process. We hope that our Degree Flow Charts listed below will help those with prior advanced degrees, and those without prior advanced degrees to select the best program for your needs. Once you have selected one or more that meets your needs, we encourage you to reach out to the appropriate staff member as indicated on the flow charts if you have additional questions.
