Overview

The Biostatistics program from Johns Hopkins University is unique in its emphasis on the foundations of statistical reasoning and data science. Students complete rigorous training in real analysis-based probability and statistics, equivalent to what is provided in most departments of mathematical statistics and in advanced data science.

Features

PhD candidates are required to pass a comprehensive written examination covering coursework completed at the end of their first year.

Research leading to a thesis may involve development of new theory and methodology, or it may be concerned with applications of statistics and probability to problems in public health, medicine or biology.
