爱荷华大学(ISU)生物统计专业介绍

  Iowa State University的Biostatistics专业介绍:

  Biostatistics专业设在Iowa State University下的College of Public Health里的Department of Biostatistics.提供生物统计学的Ms和PhD学位。目前主要的研究方向是survey sampling, survival data, statistical methods for epidemiology, statistical genetics, clinical trials, longitudinal data, categorical data, multivariate analysis, and discriminant analysis, and public health statistics. 2006年该专业有八位中国人入学,比例是8/14,另外该学院的returning students22名,其中13位中国学生,显然,Iowa State University是对中国学生十分友好的大学,而且似乎Biostatistics专业特别青睐中国学生。

  MS学位课程:

  生物统计专业课程设置是为了让学生在Biomedical和Public Health学习中培养策划和分析数据的能力。学时两年。专业必修和选修课有生物统计,统计和流行病学或与卫生相关联的课程。毕业生适合在制药厂,政府部门里工作,也适合在大学执教。

  作为MS的学生必须对统计理论有深刻的了解,而且能熟练地把统计方法应用到卫生科学的多个领域。课程强调学生的协作能力,领导能力,有创新的统计设计。

  生物统计专业申请要求:建议有理科,数学或卫生科学背景的学生申请。最低GPA:3.0。尽管学校对GRE的成绩要求并不算高,1050就可以申请,但学院也说明学生的GRE成绩在1250-1350这个水平上会较有竞争力。TOEFL(600) 或IELTS(7.0)。除此之外,学院要求学生会应用至少一种编程语言,如FORTRAN, C 或 C++,入学学生要预修与University of Iowa相匹配的微积分,线性代数课程(详见学校网页)。

  PhD学位课程:

  生物统计专业毕业生适合在学术界,政府或制药研究机构里工作。

  申请要求:与Master要求的条件一样,只是还必须要具有生物统计或统计学的MS学位。另外学院说明具有MS学位的学生在一定情况下可以直接攻读PHD学位program。

  奖学金:

  学院指出TA的资助有限,大部分资助来自RA,学生多数是在生物统计咨询中心工作或是研究某些具体项目。同时学校也会提供fellowship。
