Our PhD program scope is expanding! The Department of Public Health Sciences has traditionally offered a PhD in Epidemiology. However, starting September 2019, our PhD program can now accommodate students with an interest in qualitative, mixed- and community-based methods as they are used in the study of the social determinants of health, the use of health and public health services, health equity, global health, Indigenous health, and health economics.
The general degree will be a PhD in Public Health Sciences. Applicant wishing to pursue epidemiological studies will have the same degree with a “Specialization in Epidemiology”.
