The Graduate Epidemiology Certificate is a 13-credits 100% online program housed in the ETSU College of Public Health, Biostatistics and Epidemiology Department.
This program provides access to a selection of master level courses in epidemiology for students wanting to earn a robust, applied skill set in a short time frame.
Our students are online learners seeking to explore epidemiology’s career potential or further their professional effectiveness. Many of our certificate graduates continue their studies by enrolling in our MPH programs.
