Prospective Student Experience
Now is an exciting time to be a Biostatistician at the University of Michigan! We bring biostatistical design and analysis expertise to a wide spectrum of health-related research. As part of one of the nation's top-ranked biostatistics programs, our faculty, students, and staff work in important and diverse areas of current biostatistical research; including image analysis, survival and event history analysis, statistical genetics, genomics and bioinformatics, clinical trials, Bayesian methods, statistical computing, longitudinal data analysis, methods for missing data, survey research, electronic health records, casual inference, machine learning, mobile health, and high dimensional inference. Our graduates have great job opportunities in academia, government, industry (e.g. biotech, pharmaceuticals), data science, informatics, and at medical research institutions.

Learn more about the student experience in the Department of Biostatistics by visiting us either virtually or in-person at one of our Prospective Student Day events.
Prospective Student Day
Saturday, October 5, 2024
Explore Michigan Biostatistics in-depth at our annual Prospective Student Day. From meeting the department’s students, faculty, and staff; to diving deeper into many of the topics and questions on the minds of prospective students; to sitting in on research presentations from a Biostatistics faculty member and a current Biostatistics student – attendees will get a full picture of what the department is all about. Lunch is provided for all attendees.
NOTE: This is a hybrid event with both in-person and online options for attendance. We strongly encourage in-person attendance, if possible, to get the full experience by interacting with our faculty, current students and staff members. But we also warmly welcome all virtual attendees!
