Work with your Faculty Advisor to decide which courses you need to take
The PhD program s is intended to be an individually designed program that makes it possible for students to develop the course of study that best fulfills their unique needs, with the advice of their Faculty Advisor(s) and doctoral committee. We recognize that the students recruited into the program have experience in the field of public health or similar disciplines and have career directions that may vary tremendously, including policy development and services, academia, applied research, and other foci. Students will be expected to graduate with not only excellent methodological skills, but also a wider and deeper understanding of public health and their individual area of focus. Throughout your PhD, you will rely on the advice and expertise of your advisors, mentors, and committee members.

The student will be assigned one or more Major Professors prior to the start of the program. The major professor is also referred to as the faculty advisor or faculty mentor. Your Major Professor is your main advisor throughout your PhD experience. Profiles of each faculty member and their research and practice interests can be found on the COPH website. Look under Faculty and Staff on each department's home page. You can find the areas of specialization, and if you click on individual faculty, you will find more detailed information. For more information on the role and responsibilities of the major professor please refer the the USF Catalog. |
