MPH Genomics

Concentration: Genomics (Code: PGNO)
Delivery: Traditional

The Genomics concentration is an in-person curriculum designed to train students in genomics within a public health context. There is an urgent need for a public health workforce that is well-versed in the vocabulary and methods of genetics and genomics. The COVID pandemic has raised awareness of genome sequencing and its relation to understanding disease susceptibility and progression in “real time”, and workforce demand is high for individuals trained in genomics. The MPH with a concentration in genomics is intended to meet this demand.
