Concentration: Biostatistics (Code: PBC)
Concentration was terminated effective fall 2018.
The goal of the MSPH Program in Biostatistics is for students to acquire a thorough understanding of biostatistical methods, and to apply them to research focusing on public health related problems. The program prepares students to fulfill a primary or shared responsibility for the handling of quantitative and computational aspects of a research project, ranging from study design, data collection and management, developing analysis plans, and conducting analyses and reporting findings. The program provides students with knowledge in statistical theory and computational methods as applied to public health research. The intended audience of the program includes individuals with a strong quantitative background and interests in pursuing a research career as a biostatistician. Through advanced coursework and the thesis, students develop mastery in at one or more statistical methods related to their thesis research area.
