The Ph.D. Program in Urban Health is a multidisciplinary degree offered jointly through the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The program prepares students to develop research-based knowledge in urban systems and to participate in the development, implementation, and evaluation of policy and services for urban populations. An Urban Health Specialization component, based in the School of Nursing, is available to nurses and non-nurses.
