Biostatistics serves as a fundamental skill set crucial for advancing and applying public health principles. This field's methodologies enable precise measurement of how risk factors and health interventions impact both individuals and populations. The Master of Science with a Biostatistics focus is a 24-month curriculum offering specialized instruction in clinical research, epidemiological approaches, implementation strategies, genetic statistics, and infectious disease modeling. Those interested in the Data Science track must declare this option during their initial Fall semester. Unlike the broader Master of Public Health degree, the MS program prioritizes developing advanced biostatistical competencies from the outset. Although program alumni may pursue doctoral studies, the MS qualification holds significant value as a standalone professional credential. Flexible part-time study options are available.
