Cartmel (Family and Community Medicine) The graduate interdisciplinary program in epidemiology offers the opportunity for study in the scientific discipline concerned with the causes and prevention of disease in human populations. Advances in clinical medicine, laboratory science, environmental health, nutrition, statistics, computer data processing and the basic understanding of the pathogenesis of disease enable epidemiology researchers to better examine causes of disease and to evaluate more effective strategies for disease prevention and control. Multidisciplinary collaborations between program faculty and members of university departments and state and national health institutions provide classroom and community training opportunities. To accomplish this goal, faculty program members with overlapping expertise from several health science departments have been selected to direct courses and research. Degrees The Graduate Program in Epidemiology offers a major in epidemiology for the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
