About

The Ph.D. in Epidemiology program at the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health is designed for advanced graduate students who want to study the distribution of health and illness in diverse populations, the occurrence of illness, and how to assess the determinants of health and disease risk in human populations.

Our students are trained to become scientific leaders in academic, governmental agency, non-governmental agency, and industry settings.

Graduates are trained to develop and conduct epidemiologic research and to translate their findings to a diverse audience, including the biomedical research community, public health practitioners, health policymakers, and clinicians in the health professions, as well as to the general public.
