Applied Biostatistics
Applied Biostatistics
In this program, you'll focus more on the applied nature of biostatistics and less on the theory behind it. It's perfect for public health workers and individuals who want to strengthen their analytic skills and is particularly useful if you have a previous research degree or experience. As a student in this program, you’ll gain a strong understanding of programming and data management and learn how to navigate serving as a consultant on projects. And if your interests are bigger than what just one country can contain, we offer the option to add an emphasis in global health.

Epidemiology
Epidemiology
In this program, you’ll study diseases in populations and learn how to apply evidence-based information to promote health and prevent illness. In epidemiology, we get to see the applications of our work every day, saving lives in the here and now and in the future. And as a student in our department, you’ll have access to faculty with a wide range of expertise—from food safety, to diabetes, to gene-environment interactions, we do it all.
This 42- to 45-credit hour program offers both in-classroom and applied learning experiences. In addition to the public health core areas, you'll take classes in biostatistics, research methods, and database design. You’ll also choose from a variety of elective courses so that you can hone in on what matters most to you. And if your interests are bigger than one country can contain, we offer the option to add an emphasis in global public health, where you’ll learn how to apply epidemiological principles in the global arena.

One Health
Throughout the world, human societies are inextricably linked with animals wild and domestic – for food, work, or companionship. While some health professionals focus solely on health in humans, public health is hugely impacted by interactions between animals, people, and their environment.
Students in this program not only learn the foundational principles of public health, but through a one health lens appreciate how the intersection of animals, people and the environment influence public health. Courses cover topics including infectious and zoonotic diseases, food safety, and scientific collaboration. Students also have the opportunity to tailor their degree program through elective courses on issues like disasters, global health, food systems, disease investigation, GIS mapping, and others.

Epidemiology
Expand public understanding of health risks and provide data for preventive approaches in public health as an epidemiologist. Through surveillance, data collection, exposure assessment, and the implementation and evaluation of intervention programs, epidemiologists are needed to determine disease risk and preventative factors to then evaluate disease prevention strategies. If you’re interested in being a part of the cornerstone of public health research, epidemiology is the profession for you.
In the Colorado School of Public Health’s 42 credit hour Master of Public Health degree program, with a concentration in Epidemiology at Colorado State University, you’ll be trained in epidemiologic study designs, outbreak investigations, statistical analysis and the biological principles underlying infectious and chronic diseases. Epidemiology students utilize their training to conduct epidemiologic research studies by collecting, analyzing and interpreting data that are used to develop evidence based practices.
With an MPH in epidemiology, you can work in a wide variety of settings, including international health agencies, government health departments, academia, industry and research institutions. CSU faculty are actively involved in the following areas: environmental and occupational, cancer, chronic disease, infectious disease, genetic/ molecular and veterinary epidemiology.

Public Health Nutrition
Poor dietary patterns are the leading causes of chronic disease worldwide. Promoting better nutrition in the population requires approaches informed by the nutrition, social, behavioral, and health sciences; local knowledge and experience; and best practices for designing, implementing, and evaluating nutrition policies and programs.
The 42-credit Public Health Nutrition concentration prepares you to apply the science of nutrition and epidemiological principles to programs and policy, systems, and environmental approaches that promote healthy dietary behaviors. You will also have the opportunity to take electives that allow you to further tailor your education in areas like nutrition and sustainable food systems, and nutrition and physical activity for chronic disease prevention. The Public Health Nutrition concentration is housed at the Colorado State University (CSU) campus of the Colorado School of Public Health. CSU is a land grant institution with an active interdisciplinary team of food systems scholars and a strong history of chronic disease prevention in Colorado, the US, and globally.
You will come away with an understanding of:
- how the under- and over-consumption of macronutrients and micronutrients can lead to poor health outcomes;
- how to critically review the nutrition literature, analyze nutrition and health data, and assess dietary intake;
- and how to apply planning and evaluation strategies to nutrition programs that focus on addressing the social determinants of health and food systems issues.
Examples of career paths that you could pursue after completing this program include designing nutrition campaigns or programs for communities; working with non-profits to improve access to healthy foods; working in local, state, or federal government to evaluate and monitor nutrition programs; and working with international non-governmental organizations to inform the development of food and nutrition policies abroad.

Epidemiology
In this program, you'll study diseases in populations and learn how to apply evidence-based information to promote health and prevent illness. In epidemiology, we get to see the applications of our work every day, saving lives in the here and now and in the future. And as a student in our department, you'll have access to faculty with a wide range of expertise - from food safety, to diabetes, to gene-environment interactions, we do it all.
