COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master’s Research Paper option requires students to complete a total of seven one-term courses (each worth 0.50 units) with an overall average of at least 70%. Students must complete three core courses: STAT 831 (Generalized Linear Models and Applications), STAT 850 (Estimation and Hypothesis Testing), and STAT 931 (Causal Inference and Epidemiological Studies). In addition, students must select two courses from a list including STAT 932 (Classification and Prediction in High Dimensional Analysis in Health Research), STAT 935 (Analysis of Survival Data), and STAT 936 (Analysis of Longitudinal Data). Furthermore, students are required to complete two more courses from a broader selection that includes STAT 830 (Experimental Design), STAT 844 (Statistical Learning - Advanced Regression), STAT 854 (Sampling Theory and Practice), as well as some of the previously mentioned courses like STAT 932, STAT 935, and STAT 936, along with STAT 938 (Statistical Consulting), STAT 946 (Topics in Probability and Statistics), and STAT 947 (Topics in Biostatistics). This curriculum is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge and specialized skills in biostatistics, epidemiology, and advanced statistical methods, preparing students for careers in health research, public health, and related fields. The combination of core and elective courses ensures a strong foundation in statistical theory and practical applications relevant to health sciences.
