Founded in 1918, we were one of the first academic departments of statistical science in the world, and always have ranked among the best. We are a collegial group of 20 faculty and 40 PhD students working together to advance statistical science and public health. Our broad perspective on biostatistics ranges from foundations and methods for inference through application to the solution of public health and biomedical problems. We work with biomedical colleagues from Johns Hopkins as well as other top-rated schools of public health and medicine. Our PhD program provides the full mathematical rigor of mathematical statistics training in addition to methodologic and applications research relevant to bioscience.

The Department of Biostatistics offers the following three graduate programs to applicants with a bachelor’s degree (or higher) interested in professional or academic careers at the interface of the statistical and health sciences:

MHS (Master of Health Sciences): For outstanding individuals with prior professional experience or a professional degree seeking a one-year intensive course of study in biostatistical theory and methods.
ScM (Master of Science): For individuals with demonstrated excellence at the undergraduate level in the quantitative or biological sciences who seek a career as a professional statistician.
PhD (Doctor of Philosophy): For individuals with demonstrated excellence at the undergraduate level in the quantitative or biological sciences who wish to prepare themselves to become leading biostatistical researchers in academia, industry, or government.
We also have funded training programs in Epidemiology and Biostatistics of Aging for PhD students who are US citizens or permanent residents.
