Biostatistics involves applying statistical methods to analyze data in medicine, biology, and agriculture. This field finds uses in public health, clinical practice, veterinary science, healthcare systems, and environmental occupational health.
The Biostatistics Program results from a partnership between the School of Public Health, the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology, and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Graduate students pursuing M.Sc. or Ph.D. degrees can engage with cutting-edge statistical theory and its real-world applications in life sciences through coursework, lab work, faculty-led consulting projects, and research initiatives.
