Course Overview

The B.S. in Biostatistics is offered through the College for Public Health and Social Justice, which is accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health. Using the American Statistical Association's guidelines for undergraduate data science programs, the curriculum trains students in the management, analysis, and interpretation of data within the context of public health and healthcare. Students gain skills that prepare them to enter the workforce or pursue graduate school after graduation.

  • Interdisciplinary study. Students explore principles of mathematics, computer programming, statistics and public health as they learn how the field of biostatistics addresses current and emerging public health issues. 
  • Community impact. Biostatisticians collaborate with researchers, policymakers, health care administrators and communities as they manage, analyze and interpret data to inform critical health decisions.
  • Employment outlook. Biostatistics students gain skills that make them marketable for diverse, competitive-paying STEM jobs such as data analysts, data managers and research associates.
  • The Jesuit difference. Saint Louis University is one of the few universities to offer an undergraduate degree in biostatistics and the only Catholic, Jesuit University to offer this program.
