专业概况

COVID – 19 Update: We appreciate our students' understanding and willingness to adapt to remote learning. By March 23, all spring semester graduate and undergraduate classes will be delivered online to the greatest extent possible.

Mission Statement

The mission of this degree program is to prepare the next generation of researchers for global health and population around the world in order to advance global health research and reduce the burden of disease, especially in the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Goals

Program graduates contribute to the improvement of global health and the resolution of population problems. Graduates have the analytical and technical skills to address health and population problems from a range of disciplinary perspectives. They build a set of advanced competencies covering conceptual approaches, theory and applications, problem solving and analysis, as well as a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods. Graduates pursue careers in policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation of public health programs, and academic and programmatic research. They will engage with global health research at national and international government agencies, NGOs, the private sector and academic institutions.

Objectives

• to provide training in public health sciences to individuals whose prior training and experience prepares them to play a leadership role in generating new knowledge through public health research;
• to award the SM degree to individuals who have acquired a particular depth of knowledge in public health sciences and who have demonstrated the competencies set out below;
• to lead students to achieve these capacities in a setting that demands that they query, learn, interpret, and communicate in active interchange with their peers, with faculty, and with other researchers outside the school.

Competencies

Graduates acquire a solid and up-to-date understanding of the major issues in population and global health; the research tools to examine evidence related to program effectiveness, priority setting, and decision making; and insights into the practical aspects of undertaking research and evaluating population health interventions around the world, including a perspective on the economic, social, political, cultural, and ethical considerations that bear on these issues. Upon satisfactory completion of the SM degree, graduates will be able to:

• Identify and apply appropriate quantitative and qualitative methods to the analysis of international, national, regional, or local contemporary problems of public health;
• Synthesize and integrate specialized knowledge and research skills in one or more areas of global health and population (e.g. demography, economics, epidemiology, gender analysis, human rights, law, politics, policy, and statistics), based on advanced course work and independent research study;
• Demonstrate competence in research ethics.
