PhD Degree
Early application is recommended. Applications are accepted

Applications that are not complete by June 1st run the risk of not
being reviewed for fall admission.
The
following are required of students applying for the PhD in
Epidemiology:
-
A Master's degree
in Epidemiology from an accredited college or university. (If a
student enters with a MS or MPH from another institution, the
department will make an individual assessment as to what
additional courses will be added to their program to make up for
deficiencies, if any.)
-
If a student
enters without a Master's in Epidemiology, the student must
complete the master's degree program.
-
Satisfactory
performance on the General GRE and GRE Writing Assessment (scores
not older than 5 years)*, or the MCAT. This requirement may be
waived for individuals possessing an earned doctoral degree from a
university in the U.S. or Canada. (*Beginning October, 2002, the
General GRE test will be composed of verbal, quantitative, and
analytical writing sections. Therefore, if the GRE is taken after
October 1, 2002, you will not be required to submit the GRE
Written Assessment. However, if the GRE was taken prior to
October 1, 2002, you must submit the GRE Written Assessment.)

3.5 or better.

1-page Statement
of Purpose.

Three letters of
recommendation, one of which must be from either an academic
