The Master of Science in Community Health Sciences, offered by the College of Community and Global Health, provides research-focused graduate training in the concepts and methods of population-based health sciences. The program requires 21 credit hours of 7000-level coursework, comprising nine credit hours of required courses, three credit hours of methods, and nine credit hours of electives, completed alongside a thesis based on original research; a biostatistics concentration is available with a modified course mix.

Core coursework covers epidemiology and methods and concepts for community health sciences, with a choice of biostatistics or qualitative research methods, and a thesis proposal defence held once core methods courses are complete.
