Overview
Graduates from the Sociomedical Sciences program from Columbia University go on to do research and teach in institutions of higher education, to serve in leadership positions in public health agencies and community organizations, and to work the private sector.
Program Milestones
Students complete a number of milestones over the course of the program.
Towards the end of coursework, student mastery of key substantive and theoretical areas of interest, as well as of research method, is assessed through two essay exams: the theme essay and the methods essays. These are described in greater detail in the handbook.
In addition to providing students with the opportunity to demonstrate readiness to undertake independent research, the theme and methods essays are also designed to help each student build a strong mentor/mentee relationship with the intended dissertation sponsor and to begin substantial preparation for dissertation research under that faculty member’s supervision.
