The graduate programs in Biostatistics are designed to prepare its recipients to teach, to do research in biostatistics and to apply up-to-date statistical and biometrical methods to scientific problems. Students learn how to apply statistics in most areas of the health and biological/medical sciences. Most of these applications are part of the ongoing work at the New York State Department of Health and students are able to work with faculty and Health Department employees on research activities that are on the forefront of public health research. A faculty with diverse interests and students with diverse backgrounds and goals create a challenging and intellectually stimulating environment.
