What will I learn?

Saint Louis University's accelerated B.S. in Biostatistics/M.S. in Biostatistics and Health Analytics is designed for students who demonstrate academic success in the Biostatistics major and related coursework.

This accelerated program enables Biostatistics majors to obtain their undergraduate and master's degrees in five years; they then enter the workforce up to a year earlier than with a traditional two-year master's program. Students apply to the accelerated program during their fifth semester of collegiate study, and accepted students begin graduate coursework during senior year. Students retain undergraduate status, financial aid and tuition rates until their undergraduate degree is conferred after year four. At that time, students attain official graduate student status, pay graduate tuition, and become eligible for graduate assistantships.

The B.S. in Biostatistics is offered through SLU's College for Public Health and Social Justice, which is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health. The degree uses the American Statistical Association's guidelines for undergraduate data health sciences

Requirements

The accelerated B.S./M.S. program allows students to use up to 15 graduate credits towards their undergraduate degree.
