The Ph.D. in Sociomedical Sciences is an interdisciplinary program,
with study divided between the School of Public Health (SPH) and one
social science department in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
The aim of the program is to train researchers and teachers to apply
social science theory and methods to the study of social factors
related to health status and health care needs, social systems, and the
relation between these systems and the populations they are designed to
serve. Graduates of the program have typically been employed in
academic positions either in social science departments or health
professional schools, or have taken positions as analysts or evaluation
researchers in health planning agencies or consulting organizations.
For students who choose history as their social science discipline, the
curriculum will be run jointly by the History Department and SPH.
Admissions decisions for the program in history are also made jointly
by the SPH and history. Students may obtain further information from
the Division of Sociomedical Sciences, Office of Admissions, Columbia
School of Public Health, 600 West 168th Street, New York, NY 10032,
