Welcome

Thank you for your interest in graduate study in Biostatistics at Brown University. Our program provides rigorous training in theory, methods and application of biostatistics, a wealth of opportunities for collaborative research, and an active and dedicated faculty. Brown University is an outstanding place to undertake graduate study. Brown is in the midst of a major expansion of faculty and research programs, including unprecedented growth in Public Health. Providence provides an eclectic and culturally rich living environment.

Brown offers programs of study leading to the PhD, ScM and AM degrees in Biostatistics. The PhD program is designed to train independent researchers in statistical methodology for the health sciences. The program typically takes 4-5 years to complete. Students receive full support (stipend, tuition, health insurance). The masters programs are designed to provide advanced training in theory and application of biostatistics for those working in both professional and academic environments. These programs require 1-2 years to complete. Partial financial aid is available in the form of tuition scholarships and research apprenticeships. A fifth-year masters program for Brown undergraduates is also available.

On these pages you will find descriptions of our programs and degree offerings, information about how to apply, and information about faculty and their research. If you require further information, or have questions about our program, please contact Prof. Joseph Hogan (Graduate Program Director) or Ms. Jessi Champion (Academic Program Coordinator).
