Grounded in Georgetown University’s tradition of academic excellence and interdisciplinary studies, our two-year Master of Science in Epidemiology program provides advanced training in the fundamental principles and practice of epidemiology. A unique feature of the Master's in Epidemiology program is the crosscutting theme of Health Disparities, motivated by the university’s commitment to social justice and community engagement, and aims to train students as public health researchers, practitioners, and leaders in recognition, investigation, and elimination of local, regional, national, and global health disparities.

Concentration Areas
The Master of Science in Epidemiology Program offers three concentration areas:
·         Cancer Epidemiology
·         Infectious Disease Epidemiology
·         Social and Behavioral Epidemiology

The M.S. in Epidemiology program is a 4-semester program requiring each student to complete 34 credit hours.  Didactic training, practicums, and applied “hands on” research will culminate in a written thesis. These 34 credit hours are comprised of: 22 credits of core courses, and at least 12 credits in concentration-specific courses, inclusive of a thesis.
