Key Summary
About: The Master of Science in Biostatistics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee trains students in study design, classical and modern statistical methods, and computational techniques for public health and biomedical research. You'll analyze big data, apply methods to electronic health records, genetic studies, and treatment-efficacy monitoring, and work with faculty on research across UWM's centers and labs.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work as biostatisticians, data scientists, statistical programmers, epidemiologists, clinical trials analysts, in academia, public health agencies, healthcare systems, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and health technology firms, or in government research, health consulting, and industry regulatory affairs roles, and beyond.
The Master of Science in Biostatistics program provides an innovative curriculum to meet a range of professional needs and interests. The program trains students in study design, appropriate use of statistical and computational techniques, and interpretation of data analysis results arising from public health and biomedical research. Students learn both classical and modern statistical methods and apply their statistical skills and knowledge to solve "big data” problems. They have the opportunity to work with faculty on cutting edge research projects, such as discovering genetic causes of common diseases, developing statistical algorithms to monitor treatment efficacy, and reducing medical costs through electronic health records.
