2018-2019 Curriculum Guide for Master of Science degree program

with a specialization in BIOSTATISTICS

The Master of Science (MS) degree is intended for students whose interests in biostatistics are academically oriented rather than directed toward professional practice. MS graduates will have the knowledge and skills to participate in basic and applied research and will have the foundation to enter into a research-oriented career. The MS degree may also serve as an entry point for students who are qualified to pursue a PhD degree which requires broader scope and depth of content via additional didactic courses and more intensive research emphasis. The MS degree requires preparation and defense of a thesis on Biostatistical methods/applications. The MS degree typically can be completed within two years. Students admitted to the MS degree program are assigned a faculty advisor who will provide guidance throughout the program. This document serves as a resource to be used by the student and the advisor in planning a program with a specialization in Biostatistics, but is not inclusive of all important degree, college, and university requirements.

2018‐2019 Curriculum Guide for the Interdisciplinary PhD program in

Biostatistics ‐ PUBLIC HEALTH SPECIALIZATION

The basic philosophy of the Interdisciplinary PhD program in Biostatistics is to provide educated and trained personnel to the academic biostatistics community, including academia, industry, and government. The goal is to develop a student's ability to create new methodologies as well as address applied questions that arise from the biomedical sciences and public health. The Interdisciplinary PhD program in Biostatistics is a joint venture between The Ohio State University Department of Statistics and the Division of Biostatistics in the College of Public Health. Students in this program choose between one of two specializations: Methodology and Public Health. Both specializations require a core curriculum in theoretical and applied statistics. Complete information about advising, the program requirements, suggested plan of study, and associated forms is at http://biostatprograms.osu.edu/.

All students are expected to be familiar with the Graduate School Handbook (available at http://www.gradsch.ohio‐state.edu/).

Grade Policy: In addition to the general Graduate School requirements of a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, students must meet specific college policies regarding grades in core and specialization courses. Students should familiarize themselves with Section 11 of the College of Public Health Graduate Student Handbook.




with a specialization in ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH

The Master of Science (MS) degree in Environmental Sciences is intended for students whose interests in environmental public health are academically oriented rather than directed toward professional practice. MS graduates will have the knowledge and skills to participate in basic and applied research and will have the foundation in Environmental Sciences to enter into a research‐oriented career. This program is part of the Ohio State Environmental Sciences Graduate Program (ESGP). It is also a natural entry point for students who are qualified to pursue a PhD degree which requires broader scope and depth of content via additional didactic courses and more intensive research emphasis. To reflect this research and academic orientation, the MS degree requires preparation and defense of a hypothesis based thesis. The MS degree typically can be completed within two years.

Students are assigned a faculty advisor who will provide guidance throughout the program. Students are encouraged to get to know their advisor and meet with him/her at least twice each semester. This document serves as a resource to be used by the student and the advisor in planning a program with a specialization in EPH, but is not inclusive of all important degree, college(s), and university requirements. All students are expected to be familiar with the ESGP Handbook: https://esgp.osu.edu/sites/esgp.osu.edu/files/esgp‐handbook‐text‐fnal‐revision‐ss‐gb‐updated‐final‐2014.12.2.pdf, College of Public Health (CPH) Graduate Student Handbook: http://cph.osu.edu/students/graduate/handbooks the Graduate School Handbook http://www.gradsch.ohio‐state.edu/ and CPH competencies: http://go.osu.edu/cphcompetencies.

Appendix I Elective Courses in Biological Science The objective of this course area is to ensure that students are familiar with the diversity and functioning of organisms and the interactions among species and between organisms and the environment. Because the environmental sciences focus on the relationships between living organisms and their environment, the basic principles of ecology and a solid understanding of ecosystems structure and function is the focus of the ESGP core. This understanding can be gained through coursework that focuses on a particular taxon or a particular kind of ecosystem, but must be broadly applicable to any environment.

The objective of this core area is to provide an understanding of physical structure and processes in which ecosystems must function. Physical structure includes soil, water, air, geological media, climate, nutrients, and contaminants. Physical science processes include movement of “abiotic” matter and energy through ecosystems. Core courses must (1) study fundamental physical, hydrological, chemical, or biogeochemical processes and (2) study and emphasize the effects of physical structure and processes on ecosystem biotic components and function and the interactions between the biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem.

2018‐2019 Curriculum Guide for Doctor of Philosophy degree program

with a specialization in ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Environmental Sciences requires a significant program of study and research that qualifies the recipient to conduct independent high quality research and communicate complex information in environmental public health. Students pursuing the PhD degree complete didactic, laboratory and research courses. In addition, PhD students must successfully complete and pass a PhD Qualifying Exam, a PhD Candidacy Exam, Dissertation and Final Examination. Due to the expanded depth and scope of content and research, it takes a minimum of four years to complete the program requirements to earn the PhD degree. Graduates are prepared for teaching/research faculty positions in higher education and other positions in public and private sectors. This program is part of the Ohio State Environmental Sciences Graduate Program (ESGP).

Students are assigned a faculty advisor who will provide guidance throughout the program. Students are encouraged to get to know their advisor and meet with him/her at least twice each semester. This document serves as a resource to be used by the student and the advisor in planning a program with a specialization in EPH, but is not inclusive of all important degree, college(s), and university requirements.

With approval of the student’s advisor and Advisory Committee, up to 30 credits of appropriate master’s level course work can be counted toward the PhD. Additional requirements for courses and distribution of credits are provided below. Students should work closely with their advisor to develop a tentative curriculum plan during the first semester of their enrollment. In collaboration with their advisor, students are encouraged to form their Advisory Committee during their first year in the PhD program. A maximum of 20 credits may be applied from dissertation research.

with a specialization in VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH

The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills for general and specialized applied public health practice, both in the public sector and in private sector careers related to population health. It includes courses within public health’s core disciplines of biostatistics, environmental health science, epidemiology, health behavior & health promotion, and health services management and policy. This broad training is complemented by the more in‐depth course work within the specialization including a practicum and culminating experience.

Students admitted to the MPH degree program are assigned a faculty advisor who will provide guidance throughout the program. This document serves as a resource to be used by the student and the advisor in planning a program with a specialization in Veterinary Public Health (VPH), but is not inclusive of all important degree, college, and university requirements. All students are expected to be familiar with the College of Public Health (CPH) Graduate Student Handbook: http://cph.osu.edu/students/graduate/handbooks, the Graduate School Handbook http://www.gradsch.ohio‐state.edu/ and the CPH competencies: https://go.osu.edu/cphcompetencies.
