statistics; probability; sampling; statistical distributions; estimation; hypothesis testing;
chi-square tests; simple and multiple linear regression; one-way ANOVA.
Health of Nations: Introduction to International Health
An overview of mortality and disease occurrence in terms of geographic, cultural,
nutritional and environmental factors. Reviews health indicators such as infant mortality
and economic factors associated with development. Discusses health problems of
developing countries and describes programs and organizations involved in addressing
them.
Biologic Basis of Disease

2
 Examines the major pathological processes of interest to practitioners of public health.
Specifically, the physiological mechanisms of disease will be examined with a view to
understanding the cellular, biochemical and molecular processes that underlie diseases
of major public health impact.
Introduction to Epidemiology
The foundations of epidemiologic theory and practice. Covers conceptual and practical
issues around the design, conduct, and analysis of epidemiologic research and the
interpretation of epidemiologic data.
SAS for Epidemiological Research
Teaches the fundamentals of data management, processing, manipulation, and critical
review of data in SAS for epidemiologic and statistical analysis.
Social Determinants of Health
Increases awareness, knowledge, and understanding of issues related to behavioral,
psychological, and structural factors that contribute to understanding population health
and health inequities. Discusses key roles of health professionals in ensuring equitable
treatment at multiple levels of influence to enhance population health and reduce health
inequities through opportunities to practice skill building using case studies, deliberative
dialogues and active listening strategies.
Introduction to Qualitative Methods
An overview of qualitative research methods as commonly used in the field of public
health. Teaches study design, data collection, and data analysis techniques.
