Epidemiology is the science that underpins public health and medicine. Students in this certificate program will learn fundamental epidemiology and biostatistics methods and how to apply these analytical skills to human health investigations. Two courses are required; students have flexibility for the remainder of the certificate coursework (18 credits total), to allow tailoring for individual student interests. This certificate is intended for clinical scientists or public health professionals who need additional epidemiology training without completing an entire MPH, or existing OSU master’s students who wish epidemiology as an area of interest. It is also suitable for those who want to try graduate-level epidemiology training before committing to an MPH; all certificate credits are eligible for transfer into OSU’s MPH program. This certificate provides training helpful for careers in public health; medicine, nursing, and other allied health fields; and public health- or clinical-related research.

Certificate Code: CG10
