COURSE CURRICULUM

SLU's biostatistics curriculum contains 30 credits of major courses that cover topics in public health and biostatistics, such as statistical computing, data management, applied biostatistics, epidemiology and evidence-based public health. The biostatistics major coursework uses a health context to emphasize the development of skills in data management and analysis, preparing students to enter the workforce or attend graduate school after college.The remainder of the 120 credits required for graduation include prerequisites to major courses (Calculus I, II, and III), the University Core curriculum and general electives. Many students use their elective courses to pursue second majors, minors and/or premedical requirements.
