The Master of Science in Biostatistics (MSBST) is a 33-credit hour program consisting of 21 credits in core biostatistics courses and a capstone, which gives candidates the opportunity to learn consulting and collaboration practices through valuable experiential learning opportunities. The remaining 12 hours are a mix of customizable electives, which includes epidemiology courses and more. Courses are offered in the Fall and Spring semesters each year.
Demonstrate the ability to construct written or oral communication, which easily and accurately presents results and interpretations of a statistical analysis, to a collaborating health scientist or other vested audience.
Develop a statistical analysis plan, which implements biostatistical methodology to address a biomedical research question while remaining aware of the limitations of the methodology.
Analyze data and apply concepts from the intersection between biostatistics and epidemiology.
Develop code for statistical software in order to college and analyze data sets using appropriate biostatistical methods.
