Uraian Tempat

Epidemiology is considered the cornerstone of public health. Epidemiologists study the distribution and causes of disease in human populations; they also develop and test ways to prevent and control disease. Epidemiology is critical to disease prevention because it sheds light on why a particular disease originates, how it spreads, and its effective control. It encompasses infectious diseases as well as chronic diseases. The discipline of epidemiology has a conceptual theory, a specific methodology, and a body of substantive knowledge. An academic background in health, the biological or social sciences, or in mathematics and statistics is desirable for candidates wishing to enter this field. Demonstration of quantitative skills is required for admission. Admission is for fall term only. The large faculty works in a collaborative environment in diverse areas such as infectious disease, chronic disease, social epidemiology, neurodevelopmental epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, psychiatric epidemiology, and genetics, with a move to more global work. The department teaches and practices epidemiology with an eye toward active engagement in public health; while there is a focus on the basic methods and philosophy of the discipline, we also emphasize the practical public health benefit.

Mailman School of Public Health students (MPH, MS, DrPH, PhD) access housing information through the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) Office of Housing Services. If you live outside a 50-mile radius of the Mailman School, you were mailed a CUMC on-campus housing application packet after you confirmed your intention to enroll and/or paid your deposit. [Please note that the number of on-campus housing slots is limited. As a result, all students are encouraged to consider and pursue off-campus housing options]. Any Mailman School student may access off-campus housing referral resources through the CUMC Office of Housing Services. Attention students entering degree programs in early summer: because of particularly limited availability of summer on-campus housing, we encourage students to prioritize off campus housing options.
