Biostatistics (PhD)
Drexel Dornsife's PhD in Biostatistics will not be offered to new applicants in the 2024-2025 academic year. Interested students are encouraged to check back here in August 2025 for information about admissions for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Drexel Dornsife's PhD in Biostatistics program trains students to become highly functional statistical researchers with the breadth of knowledge to contribute to many applied domains or to specialize in a single theoretical domain. Students should expect to receive a strong, quantitative foundational core in statistical theory while simultaneously having opportunities to apply these concepts to a wide range of practical applications. An important feature of the program is deliberate exposure to more contemporary quantitative concepts in data science. The doctoral program in biostatistics offers interdisciplinary instruction and research opportunities that are designed to provide a solid training in both statistical theory and in applications of biostatistical methods to a variety of relevant contexts that are central to modern interdisciplinary research. This program prepares doctoral students for successful careers in academia (both teaching and research), government agencies, private health-related organizations/industries, and many other data-driven industries.
