• The Master of Science degree prepares students to make a real difference in the laboratory, in the field, or in the policy arena. Students address critical scientific and health challenges that affect the lives of individuals and entire populations, building expertise in an area of specialization while gaining the perspective of multiple public health disciplines.
  • They also learn a powerful set of analytical, technical, and quantitative skills that can be applied flexibly in wide range of career paths.
  • As a Harvard Chan School master of science student, students will learn to contribute to the scientific understanding of public health through original laboratory and/or field research, to critically evaluate scientific literature, and to apply scientific knowledge in real-world settings.
  • They will hone your skills in presenting and persuading through active interchange with peers from diverse backgrounds, with faculty members who lead their fields, and with other researchers outside the School.
