Overview

The PhD Program in Health Policy (formerly known as Health Services and Policy Analysis) at UC Berkeley is distinguished by its interdisciplinary application of the social science disciplines to real-world health issues. Students select a major area of concentration from among three tracks (Health Economics, Organizations & Management, and Population Health Sciences) while receiving exposure to all three specialty fields in addition to two others (Politics/Policy and Behavioral and Community Sciences). Students augment their training through skills and knowledge from UC Berkeley's top-ranked Economics, Political Science, and Sociology departments, as well as the Haas School of Business and the Goldman School of Public Policy. Graduates of the Health Policy program are well prepared to assume academic careers in research and teaching.
