Students gain expertise in statistical inference, modeling, advanced data analysis, statistical computing, and the communication of quantitative results. The program requires 8 courses: 4 core biostatistics courses, 4 electives, and an online public health foundations course. Two courses must be completed during undergraduate studies, with six taken in graduate residence. The curriculum fosters professional skills for careers as statisticians/data analysts or as preparation for doctoral study, with required engagement in the Individual Development Plan. 来源： https://biostatistics.sph.brown.edu/academics/masters-programs
