生物统计学理学硕士课程将训练学生以下方面的统计理论，规划研究，进行分析和撰写报告的统计学，生物统计学和生物信息学方法，解释医学和公共卫生研究中用于科学推理的数值数据以及能力与相关学科的科学家进行有效合作和沟通。应用领域包括观察研究，临床试验，计算生物学和定量基因组学，统计遗传学以及医学和公共卫生研究等。42.5学分的生物统计学理学硕士-专为具有足够数学和统计学背景的学生而设计一年学习后的水平与80学分课程中的水平相当。拥有一门数学科学硕士学位或定量领域博士学位的学生可能有资格获得为期一年的SM计划。
The Master of Science programs in Biostatistics train students in the basics of statistical theory, biostatistical and bioinformatics methods in planning studies, conducting analyses, and writing reports, the interpretation of numeric data for scientific inference in studies in medicine and public health, and the ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with scientists in related disciplines. Application areas include observational studies, clinical trials, computational biology and quantitative genomics, statistical genetics, and medical and public health research, among other areas. Designed to prepare students with a quantitative undergraduate degree for applied research positions in universities, hospitals, and industry. This program requires the completion of a thesis in addition to coursework.
