The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics aims to understand and improve the health of populations through research and teaching that promote social justice and public health policy changes. Faculty members are actively engaged in cutting edge research to address critical and current public health problems in New York and around the world. The Department offers an MPH in epidemiology and biostatistics and a PhD degree in epidemiology. Our mission is to train the next cadre of public health practitioners, epidemiologists and biostatisticians in rigorous epidemiology and statistical methods and their applications to pressing and real-life public health problems.

Pre-Application Requirements
Medical students enrolled at Einstein who are pursuing their MDs, have successfully completed the Year 1 Fall semester at Einstein, and are in good academic standing, may enroll in online core courses at CUNY SPH, taken on a non-matriculated basis, during the Summer session. Such students will continue their full-time coursework at Einstein during their second and third years. During the Fall semester of their third year, these students may formally apply for admission to the MPH program via a no-fee, fast-track application.
Application Requirements
To be eligible for the CUNY SPH fast-tracked application process, students must have remained in good academic standing at Einstein by the end of their second year and have a cumulative GPA in their CUNY SPH online courses of 3.7 or greater. If admitted to the program, students will follow the recommended sequence listed below.
Einstein students who do not meet the criteria for the CUNY SPH fast-track application process may complete the standard SPH application available on SOPHAS and pay the application fee to have their application reviewed by the SPH Admissions Committee for decision.
Students will be required to meet with the coordinator/advisor from each institution upon entering the program to confirm degree requirements, course sequencing, and research plans, and then at least once per semester thereafter.
