Please note: the MPH in Biostatistics has some pre-requisites that must be followed in the following areas:

Mathematics
Familiarity with the mathematics of single variable calculus and matrix algebra are required. These requirements can be satisfied by a one-semester college course in calculus equivalent to AP Calculus AB and a high school algebra course involving matrices.

Computer Science
Knowledge of elementary computer programming is required. Programming in any commonly used modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++) is acceptable.

The combined undergrad to grad program makes it possible for students to earn an undergraduate degree and an MPH in Biostatistics in five years. Benefits of pursuing the combined degrees include:

• The time to completion is five years instead of six.
• Apply course credit to both programs
• Saves an average of $10,000 in one year of tuition and fees
• Become eligible for grad assistantships in the second year
• Gain skills in the critical areas needed by employers
• Increase opportunities for career advancement
