Overview

Key Features

The Theory and Methods program at Columbia University also provides the necessary academic preparation for those who wish to pursue PhD-level training in biostatistics at a later date. The program's mathematical emphasis gives graduates a deeper foundation in statistical methods than the traditional MPH degree.

The length of the 36-credit program varies with the background, training, and experience of individual students. Most complete the program within two years (four semesters) and begin their studies in the fall semester.

In addition to fulfilling their course work, all TM students complete a one-term practicum and capstone experience. The practicum experience is an important element of the TM training, as it provides students with the opportunity to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world situations and offers a taste of future career opportunities.
