About the course

The mission of the GW Master of Science (MS) Biostatistics program is to guide students toward developing the necessary skills to successfully apply statistical methods to the biological, biomedical, and health services sciences. After graduating from the Biostatistics MS program, students are prepared to conduct epidemiologic research, undertake evaluation studies, and monitor population health status in academic, government, private sector, and community health settings. Our research helps drive understanding of how infectious diseases, such as Zika, Ebola, and HIV/AIDS spread. Our graduates work with those communities that are most vulnerable to better treat patients and prevent future outbreaks. The MS Biostatistics degree program is a joint venture between the Department of Statistics in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the Milken Institute School of Public Health (SPH).
