The University of Washington Health Services Master of Science (M.S.) program is part of the UW School of Public Health, which consistently ranks among the best in the United States. Our curriculum is exceptional in the strength of our required and elective courses, including program evaluation, biostatistics, epidemiology, and health economics.
Biostatistics
Earn a Master of Science in Biostatistics to prepare for careers such as biostatistician, research scientist, or data analyst.
Epidemiology (Clinical Research Track)
Chiefly intended for professionals who have already completed clinical training and who plan to conduct research with patients in health care settings as a significant part of their future career, such as clinical trials on the effectiveness and safety of new treatments, studies of new tools for diagnosis or for monitoring disease course, and studies of factors that influence the outcome of illness.
Genetic Epidemiology
The Master of Science degree offers advanced training in Genetic Epidemiology with an emphasis on applied research skills to understand the etiology and prevention of complex diseases with genetic and environmental components. Completion of this degree prepares graduates for careers in academic institutions, health care delivery systems, public health departments, governmental agencies, and the private sector, particularly biotechnology.
Certificate in Applied Biostatistics
In this three-course certificate program, you’ll learn how to employ statistical concepts to answer important scientific questions. Using R software, we’ll apply different techniques for analyzing data sets from scientific and medical research. You’ll develop the ability to process, interpret and report the results of statistical analyses common in biomedical research.
Global Health Certificate for Residents and Fellows
Medical residents and clinical fellows have a myriad of opportunities to participate in global health activities at the UW. Here you will find information about UW Medicine department pathways, international clinical training and funding opportunities, and more.
