MS Biostatistics Requirements

Admissions

In addition to satisfying general admission requirements for graduate study, all applicants are expected to have basic computer literacy. They  must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a field that includes one year coursework in calculus and one semester coursework in matrix or linear algebra. Applicants with degrees in such fields as mathematics, statistics, and some engineering programs usually meet these requirements. For applicants with degrees in other fields, these requirements are normally satisfied if students have successfully completed courses equivalent to the listed Mason courses.

Note that coursework taken to correct deficiencies in undergraduate preparation is not counted toward the degree.
