At
the School of Public Health in New Brunswick
The
M.P.H. in biostatistics degree provides students with a clear understanding of
the roles of the core disciplines in public health. It also provides students
with sufficient knowledge of the theory and terminology used by these
disciplines to allow effective participation in interdisciplinary public health
efforts and with specialized skills in at least one public health discipline.
The department courses are intended to give students some basic and in-depth understanding
of statistical methods applied to biomedical and public health areas.
Underlying theory also will be covered in some courses in order for students to
learn how statistical methods are developed and applied. M.P.H. students with
biostatistics as a concentration will have a broad view of the applied methods.
