    PhD Programs in Communicable Diseases

    Programs in communicable diseases help students research how to prevent the spread of these illnesses. Students look at how these diseases began, methods to stop the spreading and what to do in the event of an outbreak.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
