Master's of Science Degree in
Epidemiology and Clinical Research

Overview

The Master’s of Science program in Epidemiology and Clinical Research provides students with the skills essential to patient-oriented clinical research, including epidemiologic methods and statistical analysis.

Many students are clinical investigators with an MD or comparable clinical degree, often in fellowship stages of their training or already junior faculty members. The program also considers applicants from doctoral programs in the social, behavioral or biological sciences, who are interested in a concurrent Master’s degree and wish to apply epidemiologic techniques in their areas of research interest. The  program also serves as a graduate starting point for students with baccalaureate degrees who anticipate  careers in epidemiology, clinical research, medicine or population health.

The MS program is typically completed in two years (five to six quarters). All candidates must  satisfactorily complete 45 units of graduate course work with a 3.0 (B) or better, as well as a Master’s thesis usually based on original research related to epidemiology. 

In addition to satisfying the core course requirements, students must take additional electives in in their area of concentration.

Please note that the MS Epidemiology program is full time (8-10 units/quarter) and requires students to be on campus for in-person courses.

Resource for internal use only [SUNetID required, or request access]
