Hello All,

If I would like to do Epidemiology research and become a professor which degree should I obtain?

I have been accepted into a PhD program in Epidemiology at a school of public health/medical school. I have also been accepted into a PhD in population health science program at a medical school focusing on clinical and translation epidemiology. I was wondering does one have an advantage over the other? They both require similar classes for graduation.

Thank You!
