Hello everyone,
I haven't been on here for quite a while, I've been working like a madwoman .
I have a question. What is truly the difference between MSc and MPH? I have been accepted to a very good school in Canada (very close to home) for an MSc in Epidemiology and also have received acceptances for various MPH programs in the US. I do understand that MSc is geared towards academia, but I do have the opportunity to work in a Cancer Centre (which is what I really want to do) that is associated with the school.
I guess my question is, what can you do with a MPH that you cannot do with a MSc in Epidemiology and vice versa?
P.S. Tuition in the MPH programs is more than twice the tuition I would have to pay in Canada.
P.S.S. I dont plan to get an MD..I plan on working straight from my masters and hopefully get my PhD one day
Thank you
