Program Overview
The doctoral program prepares students to understand the mathematical and theoretical basis of statistical methodology; collaborate on the design of research studies in the health sciences; provide advice on the proper collection, entry, storage, retrieval, and manipulation of data; and take primary responsibility for the analysis, interpretation and dissemination of data in a research study using state-of-the-art statistical methods and software. Doctoral students are also prepared to carry out original methodological research in statistics and apply the resulting methodology to health-related research problems.
Doctoral students entering in Fall 2021 or after will be placed in one of the three tracks to complete their degree requirements. Students who enter the program with a BS or MS in fields other than Biostatistics will be placed on Track 1. Students on Track I will be awarded both MS and PhD degrees in Biostatistics after they successfully defend their PhD dissertations. Students who enter the program with an MS in Biostatistics from other institutions will be placed on Track 2. Students who enter the program with an MS in Biostatistics from Augusta University will be placed on Track 3.
All current Biostatistics doctoral students (entered prior to Fall 2021) who fulfill the requirements of Track 1 will also be awarded both MS and PhD degrees in Biostatistics after they successfully defend their PhD dissertations.
