As part of our commitment to encouraging collaboration in the fields of biostatistics and data sciences, we regularly host and support industry conferences, including the upcoming ICSA Applied Statistics Symposium now virtual , StatFest , and BigDIA Biostatistics uses statistical tools and methods to make sense of the vast quantities of data generated by health research. Through classroom instruction and hands-on experience, our students learn operate in two roles, both as leaders in their field and as expert translators of data and statistics for their project partners and clients.
Each role is equally important. As leaders in statistics, our students are primed and ready to consult on creating the right structure and collection methods for accurate data, exploring new methodology to improve efficiency and veracity of study findings. As project partners, our students learn to articulate findings to stakeholders in a way that is meaningful and actionable—biostatistics is a delicate science, and data must be interpreted and shared with discipline and care to ensure that it is leveraged effectively.
While our PhD program in biostatistics is among the top 6 of the largest biostatistics PhD programs in the country, upon completion of their degree, all of our students are prepared to safeguard public health and improve lives in academia, industry, government, and beyond. A major strength and component of our department is the Coordinating Center for Clinical Trials CCCT , which has a more-thanyear history of successfully coordinating large multicenter clinical trials and providing comprehensive services for these endeavors.
We also recently established the Center for Big Data in Health Sciences CBD-HS , which hosts several Big Data research projects, including development of predictive models and heterogeneous data integration methods for Electronic Healthcare Record EHR data, insurance claim data, and data from public databases or data repositories.
And our new Center for Biostatistics Collaboration and Data Services will provide opportunities for our faculty and students to collaborate and interact with biomedical and health science investigators to address scientific questions using their statistical and data science skills.

Multiple sclerosis MS is an immune-mediated, demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system. There are also fourteen research centers within the school focusing on specialized research needs in the diverse areas of public health. The first student was admitted in Enrollment grew by leaps and bounds during the first 10 years, a testimony to the previously unfulfilled need for public health professionals. By the end of , more than 6, students graduated from the school.
The main campus of the school is located in Houston at the world renowned Texas Medical Center. The main structure, the Reuel A. The story, , gross-square-foot building is located in a park setting with outstanding library, classroom, computer and research laboratory facilities.
The UT School of Public Health is one of the only schools of public health to have a dedicated public health library on site. To address the need for graduate level public health education across the state of Texas, Regional Campuses were established in San Antonio , El Paso , Dallas , Brownsville , and Austin The University of Texas School of Public Health offers four degree programs leading to the skills necessary for public health careers.
Students learn to conduct research on important public health concerns at the UT School of Public Health while working with faculty teams who uncover answers to urgent public health issues. It is required for many supervisory and managerial positions in public health and is recommended for many others. Students are admitted to one of the Divisions or Regional Campuses through which they complete a series of courses that cover the breadth of public health and develop competencies appropriate for their elected discipline.
Many courses and educational activities are available to qualified students across all disciplines. The majority of full-time students take approximately 18 to 24 months to complete the degree. Requirements of the MPH degree are: completion of coursework; a planned, supervised, and evaluated practice experience Practicum ; and a culminating experience demonstrating a substantial knowledge of public health.
