Students in the Biostatistics program of Rutgers University will have the comprehensive knowledge and technical skills needed for planning and conducting statistical analyses for studies.
The objectives of the MS in Biostatistics program are:
- to educate graduate students as biostatisticians at the Masters level with the ability to collaborate and consult with researchers of other disciplines in the biomedical and public health sciences,

- to identify and educate promising doctoral students in Biostatistics.
The proposed program is designed to provide qualified students with comprehensive knowledge and technical skills needed for planning and conducting statistical analyses for studies that are required for evidence-based medicine, epidemiology survey and public health policy decisions. In addition, for those graduate students who may intend to continue their studies towards a PhD in Biostatistics, the MS in Biostatistics program will equip them with the necessary training and preparation for further advanced studies and research.
