生物统计学哲学博士

生物统计学跨学科博士课程的基本理念是为学术生物统计学界（包括学术界，企业界和政府界）提供训练有素的人员。目的是培养学生创造新方法的能力，并解决因生物医学和公共卫生引起的应用问题。生物统计学跨学科博士课程是统计系和公共卫生学院生物统计学系之间的合资企业。该课程的学生在以下两个专业之一中进行选择：方法论和公共卫生。一年后，通过参加Qualifier 1考试，所有学生都将被录取为联合课程并进行专业选择。两个专业的前两年课程都是相似的，两个课程的学生在获得博士学位的过程中都将获得统计学硕士学位。
The basic philosophy of the Interdisciplinary PhD program in Biostatistics is to provide trained personnel to the academic biostatistics community, including academia, industry and government. The goal is to develop a student's ability to create new methodologies as well as address applied questions that arise from the biomedical sciences and public health. The Interdisciplinary PhD program in Biostatistics is a joint venture between the Department of Statistics and the Division of Biostatistics in the College of Public Health. Students in this program choose between one of two specializations: Methodology and Public Health. All students are admitted to the joint program and make a specialization selection after pasing the Qualifier 1 Exam after one year. The first two years of coursework in both specializations are similar and students in both programs are awarded an MS degree in statistics en route to the PhD.
