Biostatistics and Epidemiology

The degree offered through the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology is designed to address student interests in the practical application of epidemiologic methods and biostatistical evaluation and interests of those individuals committed to the application of epidemiology and biostatistics for the improvement of health care. The M.D./Ph.D. track in this department is intended to be an integrated degree with options for concurrent enrollment in both colleges to complement the learning process. Individualized programs of study would be designed by the graduate-level advisory committee and appropriate representative(s) from the College of Medicine. The student would petition curriculum/departmental committees or college for any special enrollment structuring necessary to reach the goal of integration of course material.
