流行病学学士

This major has 13 required courses and 两个 recommended mathematics courses. The epidemiology major leads to a 文学学士 度，满足 社会科学 requirement of the Rochester Curriculum.

本专业的主要目标:

  • Understand the theories, concepts, and skills required to assess population health
  • Understand the methodologies used to examine factors associated with the development and prevention of disease
  • 应用 the basic tools necessary for analysis of data applicable to public health outcomes

***Beginning in spring 2024 and moving forward, PHLT 102 ‘Introduction to Public Health II' will no longer be a required course for public health majors. Moving forward, PHLT 102 will no longer be offered. 学生是 already declared as an epidemiology (EPD) major will continue to follow their programs as they originally declared. If a student completed PHLT 102 with the intention of using it for their intended EPD major, the undergraduate public health program will work with that student to incorporate it as part of their EPD major.
