Admissions
The Group in Biostatistics welcomes applicants from a wide variety of disciplines.
Acceptable candidates for the M.A. degree program have completed at least a year or two of calculus and have had a course in linear algebra. We would expect those applying for the Ph.D. to possess a strong quantitative background exceeding the minimum requirements for admission into the M.A. program.
