Biostatistics and Health Analytics
Summary

The 21st century is the era of "big data." Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data — so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. It is estimated that 30% of this data comes from the health care industry. Saint Louis University's Master of Science in Biostatistics and Health Analytics prepares students to handle this data while applying analytic techniques to answer important research questions related to health and health care.

 

  • This program is designed for SLU students interested in a field that combines quantitative reasoning, coding and scientific skills to solve problems in health and medicine. It is suited for those with strong quantitative abilities and a desire to apply mathematics, statistics, computer programming and data analysis to health-related issues.
  • An M.S. in biostatistics and health analytics can prepare students for professional biostatistical careers and provides a firm academic foundation for subsequent doctoral study in statistical science.

Biostatistics is a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) focus area because biostatistics is a mathematically based science. In 2006, the United States launched a program to increase the number of students who receive training in STEM areas. This program will fill the need for graduates with technical abilities to analyze data and draw inferences.
