Important Catalog Information
Due to the planned consolidation during the summer of 2020, of the University of South Florida, the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, and the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, into a single university with a fully aligned and integrated curriculum and a single set of academic policies and procedures, any undergraduate or graduate student who matriculates at one of the three USF institutions on or after May 18, 2020, will adhere to the curricula, policies, and procedures described in the 2020-21 USF undergraduate or graduate catalog, respectively.
Concentration: Global Communicable Disease (Code: TCD)
Delivery: Traditional
The global communicable disease concentration provides an opportunity for science-oriented students with an interest in communicable diseases to receive specialized training in the recognition, identification, diagnosis, surveillance, control, and prevention of public health problems related to communicable diseases throughout the world, with particular emphasis on the problems of Florida and underdeveloped nations. Students graduating from the concentration will receive training within five core domains which are central to the study of global communicable disease: 1) Tropical and Emerging Infections, 2) Microbiology, 3) Immunology and Genetics, 4) Public Health Interventions and Disease Control and 5) Applied Global Communicable Disease. In addition to the MPH Core Courses, students will be required to take a minimum of one course from within each domain. Students will then work with their faculty advisor to select a more narrow focus for elective courses offerings. It is anticipated that students will take all of the courses within their specific domain of interest.
