Our Applied Biostatistics Certificate is designed for persons currently working as data managers or analysts, but who lack formal training in biostatistics and the science of uncertainty and would like to gain the corresponding technical, mathematical, and computational skills.
Our goal is to enhance one's understanding of key elements of database management and investigation, alert a student to key variables and trends, help a student judge their statistical significance, and improve a student's overall data evaluation and programming skills. Students will learn key aspects of study design, implementation and analysis for both observational and clinical studies.
Thirteen of the 15 required credits are offered entirely online, throughout the calendar year. The remaining two credits are required and are offered face-to-face/in class instruction during a single week in early June as part of the Summer Public Health Institute, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus.
