Masters degree in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis, U-M Biostatistics
The department of Biostatistics is accepting applications for the On Job/On Campus Master's in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis Program starting October 2009. The program is designed for health care professionals who are involved in clinical research to develop expertise in research design and statistical analysis while continuing their professional employment. The U-M School of Public Health pioneered the non-residential On Job/On Campus format in 1972. Approximately 250 students have completed the Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis Program.
Participants meet in Ann Arbor for a four-day weekend once every four to five weeks for 30 hours of class time. Between weekends on campus, participants complete course assignments and work on projects while remaining in their jobs.
