The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry is proud to offer a limited number of scholarships for qualified incoming applicants to our M.S. program in Biostatistics that will support a portion of the program’s tuition costs. The overarching goal of the graduate program is to offer advanced graduate-level training that will better prepare students for fulfilling careers in academia (including but not limited to PhD-level study), clinical care, government, and industry. The Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology is strongly committed to promoting and supporting educational access in its training of the next generation of biomedical and health sciences professionals.

We believe that this commitment enhances the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology’s educational offerings and strengthens our community. The goal of the Biostatistics M.S.
