鉴于对受过硕士学位教育的生物统计学家的需求增加，生物统计学系利用特殊的5年制硕士学位（AM），该学位可使布朗大学的本科生在完成后继续在大学学习一年他们的学士学位。这使学生可以在5年内离开布朗，不仅拥有学士学位，而且拥有硕士学位。学生必须在完成本科学习之前，通过标准在线流程为生物统计学专业计划的申请人申请五年制硕士课程。强烈建议考虑进入五年制生物统计学硕士课程的本科生在大学四年级学习之前咨询硕士研究生课程主任。学生在5年级之前修了2门必修的硕士课程。
The Master of Arts in Biostatistics is designed in accordance with the Brown Graduate School specification of two special Master's Degree programs (Fifth-Year Master's degree for Brown Undergraduate students and Open Graduate Education Program for Brown doctoral students) and is open only to students already at Brown. <br><br>For Brown undergraduates, we offer a fifth-year Master's (AM) degree that can be completed in one year after receiving the bachelor's degree. The AM degree program is also open to Brown Graduate students pursuing a master's degree in a secondary field through the University's Open Graduate Education Program (OGE). The 5th-year Master's Degree option allows Brown Undergraduates to continue at the University for Master of Arts (AM) Degree after completing their Bachelor's Degree. Applicants to the 5th -Year program follow the regular procedures of applying to the Master's program with the exception that the GRE is not required. Fifth-year candidates are expected to complete the Master's in one year and earn an AM degree. It is required that 5th-Year Master's students take two courses counting toward the Master's degree (see below for course list) prior to matriculating into the Master's program. Students must apply for the 5th-Year Master's program through SOPHAS Express for applicants to the Biostatistics program before they complete their undergraduate studies.
