Share一点关于biostat@Harvard的信息..

以下信息仅针对Master of Science(SM)的项目.MPH的可能情况比较不同.具体不详.

1.approximately 10-12 new Master's students each year.这个人数是包括了42.5/60/80credit三个生统项目的.
2.对于每个program.
The 42.5 credit program is only available to students with a prior relevant graduate degree.  
The 60-credit program is more applied in nature, and involves working on a Master's thesis and collaborative practicum.  
Especially for 80-credit Master's students, some of your courses will also be taken by some of our doctoral students in Biostatistics, as well as some graduate students in Epidemiology or other allied fields.
3.这话听着挺窝心的.We are aiming for a small, high-quality Master's program, where students get good personal attention.
4.对于那个80credit(两年的).小蜜的说法是flexible.
some students go on to get a job (in the pharmaceutical industry or for a research hospital or similar setting) after earning their 80-credit degree.  Other students decide to go on to further graduate studies, in Biostatistics, but also we've had students go to graduate programs in Statistics, Epidemiology, Environmental Health, or medical schools, for example.
然后也说可以依据自己的career goal来选合适的课程.也可以做research什么的吧.可以去选更多公卫的课.如果想搞学术也可以修PHD的课.
5.For Master's students who are here next summer, we help to  facilitate internships, summer positions, or part-time jobs within the Harvard Medical Area, and some students seek external internships as well.

BTW.他家(生统系)的小蜜很nice.回信也挺快的.

有更多信息再来补充好了.

80分。。。这多。。

Harvard的生统招人这么少！……那么难度也不会比统计低多少啊……
