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.

***NUTR 688 is a departmental seminar that spans the first two terms. It is expected
that students
will attend seminars throughout their doctoral program but do not have to officially
register.
****NUTR 869 is a doctoral seminar that students register for until they have passed
their Preliminary
Exam. Prior to the Preliminary Exam, they will present a formal seminar in this class.

*****NUTR 899 - students complete two separate rotations with different faculty for
a minimum
of one credit each rotation.
