Epidemiology is a multidisciplinary study of distributions and determinants of health and performance in populations. The goals are to provide a scientific basis for preventing, controlling eradicating disease and for enhancing well-being and productivity in populations.
	The mission of the Graduate Group in Epidemiology is to provide through instruc- tion and research the graduate academic education necessary to prepare individuals to be leading researchers in epidemiology, or to apply epidemiology to their discipline.

Questions about the Graduate Group in Epidemiology should be directed to the Graduate Group's Administrative Assistant, or one of the Graduate Advisors for students in the GGE.
