GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Program in Epidemiology was founded in 2018 and includes
graduate students pursuing an MPH. in Epidemiology and a Ph.D.
in Epidemiology. The Program provides an environment that
supports and fosters the development of productive,
high-quality, and interdisciplinary research. The College of
Health Sciences is a dynamic, innovative academic unit with
more than 3,400 undergraduate and graduate students and 131
faculty, who are nationally recognized leaders across multiple
disciplines. The College is housed in multiple buildings on
the traditional main campus, but also is an anchor tenant of
the University's Science, Technology, and Advanced Research
(STAR) Campus. STAR has become an exciting center that
combines business, research and education, focused on leading
topics in health science, biopharmaceuticals, data science,
engineering, finance and other cross-cutting fields of study.
In addition to Kinesiology and Applied Physiology (ranked #5
according to the National Academy of Kinesiology), the College
has six additional academic units, including Communication
Sciences and Disorders, Epidemiology, Health Behavior and
Nutrition Sciences, Medical and Molecular Sciences, Physical
Therapy (ranked #1 by US News and World Report), and the
School of Nursing. With annual research expenditures of
approximately $19.5 million, the college currently houses a
number of large, interdisciplinary grants with significant
funding from the NIH and DoD. The college boasts strong
research teams in the areas of neurological disorders,
cardiovascular health, and other chronic disease conditions,
as well as rehabilitation science and concussion.
One of the oldest institutions of higher education in the
United States, the University of Delaware (UD) has a rich
history of contributing scientific insights and new ideas,
fostering enlightenment, transforming lives and changing the
world. Today under the leadership of President Dennis Assanis,
the University is committed to building on this legacy to meet
the complex challenges facing the globe. The University's
foremost priority remains to ensure the success of every
student, and this commitment dates back to our roots as a
small private academy founded in 1743. From that early school,
which educated three signers of the Declaration of
Independence, UD has grown into a research-intensive,
technologically advanced institution that is at the forefront
of innovation in the classroom, in the laboratory and in the
community.
Located in scenic Newark, Delaware, within 2 hours of New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., the
University is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant, and
Carnegie Research University (with very high research
activity, a designation accorded to fewer than 3% of
degree-granting institutions in the U.S.), and with external
funding exceeding $200 million. A state-assisted, privately
governed institution, the University enrolls approximately
18,600 undergraduates and 4,500 graduate students.
