STEM-classified degree: graduates are eligible for 3 years of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the USA. This degree is taught by ASU’s College of Health Solutions, the only health college of its kind-bringing together researchers, faculty, students and community partners from many disciplines to turn scientific research into practical solutions. The Master of Science program in biostatistics provides training in applied biostatistical methodology and its applications to solve practical problems in health-related sciences. Students develop the expertise necessary to design, implement, evaluate and disseminate research and translate information into improved health outcomes for individuals, systems and populations. Students learn fundamental biostatistics skills and gain the knowledge necessary for effective collaboration with health researchers, including how to design randomized, controlled clinical trials and intervention studies to guarantee data quality and make valid causal inferences. An applied research focus and mentorship approach aids students as they work to solve a practical health-related research problem to complete their program.
