The Department of Sociomedical Sciences offers four degrees: the Master of Public Health (MPH), the Master of Science (MS), and two doctoral degrees, the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The MPH and DrPH are conferred by the Mailman School of Public Health, while the PhD is conferred by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Many of our MPH and MS graduates pursue work in public health agencies and service-delivery systems; participate as members of research or health promotion teams; or use the degree to complement such professional careers as nursing, law, medicine, social work, urban planning, occupational therapy, or international affairs. Doctoral graduates pursue careers in research and teaching.
