PhD students must also complete the Foundations of Public Health modules.         

*Can take NUTR 620 in lieu of BIOSTAT 522. Please discuss with your mentor.         

*Students must take one of PUBHLTH 512 or 600. EPID 600 offers a deeper view on theory and          
methods such as causal inference. We recommend EPID 600 but please discuss with your mentor.         

**Can take NUTR 620 in lieu of BIOSTAT 522. Please discuss with your mentor.         

***NUTR 688 is a departmental seminar that spans the first two terms. It is expected that students
