PhD in Population Health Sciences

Prepare for a high-impact career tackling public health problems from air pollution to obesity to global health equity to the social determinants of health.

The PhD in population health sciences is a multidisciplinary research degree that will prepare you for a career focused on challenges and solutions that affect the lives of millions around the globe. Collaborating with colleagues from diverse personal and professional backgrounds and conducting field and/or laboratory research projects of your own design, you will gain the deep expertise and powerful analytical and quantitative tools needed to tackle a wide range of complex, large-scale public health problems.

Focusing on one of five complementary fields of study at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and drawing on courses, resources, and faculty from the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, you will become well-versed in a wide variety of disciplines while gaining specialized knowledge in your chosen area of study.

As a population health sciences graduate, you will be prepared for a career in research, academics, or practice, tackling complex diseases and health problems that affect entire populations. Those interested in pursuing research may go on to work at a government agency or international organization, or in the private sector at a consulting, biotech, or pharmaceutical firm. Others may choose to pursue practice or on-the-ground interventions. Those interested in academics may become a faculty member in a college, university, medical school, research institute, or school of public health.

The PhD in population health sciences is a four-year program based at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the world-renowned Longwood Medical Area of Boston, Massachusetts. The degree will prepare you to apply diverse approaches to solving difficult public health research issues in your choice of one of five primary fields of study:

• Environmental health
• Epidemiology
• Social and behavioral sciences
• Global health and population

In your first semester, you and your faculty adviser will design a degree plan to guide you through the program’s interdisciplinary requirements and core courses, as well as those in your chosen field of study. After successfully completing the preliminary qualifying examination, usually at the end of your second year, you will finalize your general research topics and identify a dissertation adviser who will mentor you through the dissertation process and help you nominate a dissertation advisory committee.

All population health sciences students are trained in pedagogy and teaching and are required to work as a teaching fellow and/or research assistant to ensure they gain meaningful teaching and research experience before graduation. Students also attend a special weekly evening seminar that features prominent lecturers, grant-writing modules, feedback dinners, and training opportunities.

All students, including international students, who maintain satisfactory progress (B+ or above) receive a multiyear funding package, which includes tuition, fees , and a competitive stipend.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

Anyone with a distinguished undergraduate record and a demonstrated enthusiasm for the rigorous pursuit of scientific public health knowledge is encouraged to apply. Although a previous graduate degree is not required, applicants should have successfully completed coursework in introductory statistics or quantitative methods. Preference will be given to applicants who have either some relevant work experience or graduate-level work in their desired primary field of study.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Like all PhD (doctor of philosophy) programs at the School, the PhD in population health sciences is offered under the aegis of the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Harvard Griffin GSAS). Applications are processed through the Harvard Griffin GSAS online application system located at gsas.harvard.edu/admissions/apply.

OUR COMMUNITY: COMMITTED, ACCOMPLISHED, COLLABORATIVE

As a PhD in population health sciences candidate, you will be part of a diverse and accomplished group of students with a broad range of research and other interests. The opportunity to learn from each other and to share ideas both inside and outside the classroom will be one of the most rewarding and productive parts of the program for any successful candidate. The program in population health sciences provides these opportunities by sponsoring an informal curriculum of seminars, a dedicated student gathering and study area, and events that will enhance your knowledge, foster interaction with your peers, and encourage you to cooperatively evaluate scientific literature, while providing a supportive, collaborative community within which to pursue your degree.

As members of both the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences communities, students have access to the Cambridge and Longwood Medical Area campuses. Students also qualify for affordable transportation options, access to numerous lectures and academic seminars, and a wealth of services to support their academic and personal needs on both sides of the Charles River.

Join a dynamic community of future healthcare leaders, where evidence-based research meets impactful community engagement. Explore our state-of-the-art facilities, build close-knit relationships, and make a difference in public health.

Step into the world of advanced health research with the Doctor of Philosophy in Biostatistics at OU Hudson College of Public Health. Your journey towards becoming a trailblazer in biostatistics starts here.

The Hudson College of Public Health is accredited by the Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH). The PhD in Biostatistics program may be completed by full or part-time students and is offered in Oklahoma City.

This 90-credit hour program is your path to becoming a leader in the field, using advanced statistical methodologies to decipher health trends and translate complex data into actionable insights. Courses like Applications of Microcomputers to Data Analysis, Problems in Biostatistics and Epidemiology, and Intermediate Epidemiologic Methods will equip you with the skills to interpret and communicate statistical analyses, making a tangible impact in various settings from health departments to pharmaceutical companies. The program culminates in a dissertation defense, marking your contribution to the body of knowledge in the field. 

Course Requirements

Prerequisites :  Students applying to the PhD in Biostatistics must have completed a Master’s degree program (MPH or MS) in Biostatistics or a related field. Up to 40 credit hours from the Master’s program may be counted toward the PhD with approval. 

Depending on student’s background, the student may also be required to enroll in additional elective courses that cover topics students ordinarily complete in their MS or MPH curricula that are prerequisites for doctoral level courses. These may be completed after enrolling in the PhD program, and include the following courses: 

BSE Required Courses (19 credit hours)

• BSE 5001 Problems in Biostatistics and Epidemiology
• BSE 5013 Applications of Microcomputers to Data Analysis
• BSE 5113 Principles of Epidemiology
• BSE 5163 Biostatistics Methods I
• BSE 5173 Biostatistics Methods II
• BSE 5193 Intermediate Epidemiologic Methods
• BSE 5663 Analysis of Frequency Data 

Any MS or PhD student who has not previously completed the core MPH courses or earned an MPH degree will be required to complete an overview course in public health. At the first opportunity students should enroll in: 

• BSE 5033 Foundations and Overview of Public Health (3 credit hours)

NOTE: Further training in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is required after four years, so students in their 5th year are required to enroll in the Advanced RCR course: BMSC 6011 Integrity in Scientific Research II

Additional Degree Requirements

• Students are required, prior to initiation of doctoral research, to complete training in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and Protection of Human Research Subjects. The training includes completion of the CITI course for Human Subjects Research (Social-Behavioral-Educational Basic module) and successful completion of a one credit course in RCR approved by the Department. 
• Students are required to attend all departmental and Hudson College of Public Health seminars during the spring and fall semesters.
• Students are required to enroll in a minimum of six credit hours during the spring and fall semesters.
• Students are required to achieve a working knowledge of methods, programming, and applications of computers as used in Biostatistics and Epidemiology. This knowledge may be acquired by formal class work or by experience acquired either before entering or during the course of the program. Completing BSE 5013 with a passing grade constitutes the minimum level of knowledge associated with this requirement.
• Students are required to achieve a basic knowledge of the biomedical sciences as they relate to human health and disease. This requirement may be satisfied in one or more areas. Any coursework needed to satisfy this requirement may be taken at this or another institution, either before or after entering the program. One example of an applicable course is Principles of Pathobiology (PATH 6024).
• Tools of research that increase research proficiency are required. Research tools include competence in the use of computerized databases, and in the oral and written presentation of research data. The faculty will validate students’ acquiring of tools of research as they assess students’ performance on (1) the written qualifying examination, (2) the general and oral examinations, and (3) the dissertation.
• Students must pass a written qualifying examination at the end of the first year of doctoral coursework, which must include BSE 5703 and BSE 5733. The qualifying examination will consist of two parts, each roughly four hours long. One part will focus on knowledge of statistical theory and mathematical statistics, and the other will assess ability to process, analyze, and interpret data collected to answer a research question.
• Students must pass a General Written and Oral Examination.
• Students must complete the defense of the dissertation within five years of the end of the semester within which the General Written and Oral Examination was successfully completed. If the time expires before the dissertation is completed, the coursework must be revalidated by retaking and passing the General Written and Oral Examination.

Doctoral Student Teaching Requirements

Students are required to participate in at least 40 hours of agreed teaching activities.

Teaching experiences must be obtained in teaching epidemiology or biostatistics. The exact experiences and potential opportunities for teaching experiences should be discussed by the student and their advisor and/or advisory committee. Under the guidance of the course instructor or the faculty mentor, teaching experiences may include:

• Teaching graduate level courses in epidemiology or biostatistics.
• Developing course material.
• Delivering lectures.
• Leading review and discussion sections.
• Writing and grading homework assignments.
• Writing and grading exams.

Participation in teaching activities will be documented on the Annual Graduate Student Progress Report. Students are required to identify available teaching opportunities and to contact the instructor of record to arrange for their participation in the teaching activity. The total 40 hours of teaching activities may include participation in the activities listed above as well as preparation for these activities.

STEM Designation

The PhD in Biostatistics program is considered a STEM-designated degree program.

A STEM-designated program is an academic program that falls under at least one of the approved categories from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). These categories are recognized by the government for their focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topics. DHS's updated STEM-designated degree list can be found here:  https://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/stemList2022.pdf .

15 credit level 7 module

Page last updated 5 September 2024

Introduction

Accreditations and partnerships:.

Public health issues need to be viewed on a global scale. In this 15 credit module, Introduction to Environmental and Public Health, you will explore how population health and well-being are influenced by a range of global factors and social determinants, including sustainability and the environment, food systems, security, globalisation and human migration.

This level 7 (Masters level) module aims to:

• introduce core public health issues that impact on health and well-being globally.
• explore the ways in which different academic disciplines contribute to the study of global public heath.
• consider the human, social and ethical context of public health globally and their relevance to understanding inequality, social injustice and rights-based public health.

On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

• critically analyse public health issues through appraisal of the range of factors that impact global health and wellbeing.    
• investigate and analyse how global public health and wellbeing issues are conceptualised, researched, reported and regulated.    
• demonstrate critical awareness of the complexity of the human, social and ethical context of global public health and how this is relevant to understanding inequality, social injustice and rights-based public health.

Careers / Further study

This module can contribute towards the PG Cert/PG Dip/MSc Environmental Health/Environmental Health Studies.

The module syllabus typically includes:

• philosophical, conceptual and theoretical perspectives on global public health, including health, illness, well-being and wellness.
• social, political and ethical values in global public health, including beneficence, equity, social justice, rights, altruism, social responsibility, harm principle, freedom, risk.
• contributions of a range of academic disciplines to global public health, including sociology and anthropology, geography, psychology, political science, economics and biomedicine.
• historical and geographic trends and developments: evolution of the public health field; national and global political developments and the impact on public health.
• global public health in the context of the sustainability and development; cultural, social and environmental: migration; security; globalisation; food systems.
• social determinants of health; inequalities in health and healthcare; local, national and international classification and social stratification (occupation, income, ethnicity, race, culture, religion, generation, age, gender, sexuality, opportunity and ability).

Learning and Teaching

The module is delivered through a combination of both synchronous and asynchronous learning; some elements are taught face-to-face on campus and others online. Students will have access to time-dependent release of online asynchronous resources and access to a programme of synchronous lectures, seminars and tutorials.

The module takes a multi-disciplinary approach, providing contributions across the health and social sciences to explore the nature and complexity of public health in a global context.

In addition to in-person teaching of approximately 30 hours of directed study, there is an expectation for students to commit to a significant amount of self-directed study using supplementary materials provided as well as independent research and reading. Details of directed learning is provided for each module, more detail of which is provided in the online Module Handbook and on the module Blackboard site.

The assessment for this module comprises of a 3,000 word written essay, where you are required to research a global public health issue and develop a critical analysis of the published evidence underpinning the issue, exploring the themes of health inequality and social determinants.
