Department of Biostatistics (BIST)
Organization of the Department
The department courses are intended to give the students some basic and in-depth understanding of the statistical methods applied to the biomedical and public health areas. Some theory behind the methods also will be covered in some courses in order for students to learn how statistical methods are developed and applied. MPH students with biostatistics as a concentration will have the broad view of the applied methods; MS students comprehensive knowledge and technical skills needed for planning and conducting statistical analyses for studies and PhD/DrPH students will have the opportunity to learn how methods are developed and applied. Consulting experience will be sought in industry or academia settings for students who have completed the required and elective courses as a field study in biostatistics.
