School of
Public Health in New Brunswick
Master of science (M.S.) in biostatistics
students will have the comprehensive knowledge and technical skills needed for
planning and conducting statistical analyses for studies that are required for evidence-based medicine, epidemiology survey, and public health policy decisions. The objectives of the
M.S. in biostatistics program are: 1) to educate graduate students as
biostatisticians at the master's level with the ability to collaborate and
consult with researchers of other disciplines in the biomedical and public
health sciences; 2) to meet the need for well-trained master's-level
biostatisticians for the pharmaceutical industry, medical research institutions,
and public health and other governmental organizations in New Jersey and
nationwide; and 3) to identify and educate promising doctoral students in biostatistics. In addition, for those graduate students who may intend to continue their
studies toward a Ph.D. in biostatistics, the M.S. in biostatistics program
will equip them with the necessary training and preparation for further
advanced studies and research.
