Minor for Students Enrolled in University Ph.D. Programs

Ph.D. students enrolled in other programs may pursue a minor in Population Health.  Those who wish to do so may contact Kelly Haslam (haslam@wisc.edu) for minor advising.  A minimum of 10 credits of course work consisting of three required 3-credit courses and 1-3 credits of a Population Health elective must be completed.  The minor will consist of the following Population Health Sciences courses:

  • Pop Hlth 797  Introduction to Epidemiology (3 cr) Fall
  • At least one of the following courses:
  • Pop Hlth 780  Public Health: Principles and Practices (3 cr)
    Pop Hlth 795  Fall Principles of Population Health Sciences (3 cr) Fall

  • At least one of the following research methods courses:
  • Pop Hlth 796  Introduction to Health Services Research (3 cr) Spring
    Pop Hlth 798  Epidemiologic Methods (3 cr) Spring

  • Students are strongly recommended to take Pop Hlth 800 Quantitative Methods in Population Health I (3 cr) of Pop Hlth Quantitative Methods in Population Health II (3 cr) as an elective.  However, other Population Health elective courses can be considered.

A likely course sequence for the minor in Population Health would be as follows:

Fall Semester:  Pop Hlth 795 OR Pop Hlth 780
                           Pop Hlth 797

Spring Semester:  Pop Hlth 796 OR Pop Hlth 798
                                Pop Hlth Elective

Students who request exemptions and/or substitutions for required minor courses must appeal to the Director of the Graduate Program through the Graduate Program Coordinator.  In this case, the appeal must include a Proposed Minor Program Plan, which must be approed and signed by the Graduate Program Director.
