The Graduate Program in Preventive Medicine and Community Health is
authorized to award the MS and PhD degrees. The PMCH Program features a
core curriculum with several curricular tracks that allow specialized
study in areas within the broad field of Preventive Medicine and Community Health. A unifying theme of this graduate program is the
fulfillment of society's interest in assuring the conditions in which
people can be healthy. Much of the work done by scientists in this field is
through organized community efforts aimed at the prevention of disease and
the limitation of disability and rests upon the scientific core of
epidemiology. Employment opportunities encompass both activities
undertaken within the formal structure of government and the associated
efforts of private and voluntary organizations and individuals. Our vision
is simply "Healthy People in Healthy Communities."
