Overview

To begin, we're going to completely immerse you in statistics courses. Your classes will cover topics such as general linear models, statistical methods, statistical theory, and data management and analysis. Then, you'll take a series of pre-doctoral, public health seminars and non-quantitative electives in areas like biology or medicine. We'll also have electives that focus on epidemiologic research methods and topics within the field of biostatistics for you to choose from.

Before you complete the Biostatistics program, you'll complete a non-thesis research project and present it to a graduate committee. Finally, we'll offer you the chance to participate in hands-on learning experiences while you're here.
