The MS in Biostatistics will allow students to specialize in the design and analysis of health-related and biological studies, while maintaining the rigor and technical training of the Statistical Science master's program.
In this degree, students will take a statistics core and a "bio" core, involving courses in public health, biology, and clinical medicine (including ethics). It also involves a research core which allows students to solve real data problems in the biological or health area and collaborate with other scientists in an interdisciplinary team. Finally, students will choose from electives in bioinformatics, global and community health, or targeted statistics courses.
This graduate degree prepares students for analyzing difï¬cult data speciï¬c to biology and health. The program, with its research core, will also be sufï¬ciently rigorous for students who wish to pursue a PhD in Biostatistics.
