I'm really debating between an MS and an MPH in epidemiology. On the one hand, I'm strongly considering going forward to a PhD or DrPH degree. On the other hand, I'm also interested in possibly practicing professionally as an epidemiologist for a few years after I get my degree and I'm also open to the possibility that I may decide against getting a doctoral degree in which case the MPH would probably be more flexible.
I'm also torn in the sense that I do want the solid technical background the MS would provide me with, but I also actually like how broad the MPH curriculum is in terms of approaching epidemiology research from a more well-rounded viewpoint.
Any advice?
