Table 2.6.2: Department/Division Competency matricesBiostatistics

Biostatistics provides students with the theoretical and applied statistical methodology and reasoning necessary for addressing, analyzing and solving problems in public health; health care; and biomedical, clinical and population-based research; to undertake quantitative evaluation and measurement; and to use methods of statistical inference and estimation to arrive at appropriate conclusions from laboratory, biomedical and public health data. The biostatistics program prepares individuals to undertake teaching, research, and service roles in the public health sector through active professional careers in government, industry, and academia. The program seeks to encourage student participation in collaborative research projects whenever possible because of the crucial role that collaboration plays in a biostatistician's professional activities.

Communication DisordersThe learning objectives for the M.A. and Au.D. programs are strongly influenced by the certification requirements of the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association (ASHA). For Ph.D. degrees, these objectives are developed between the student and his or her advisor. The doctoral committee may offer input, but usually to a lesser extent. Thus, formulating a doctoral degree program requires both student and advisor to carefully define the degree and its parameters, a valuable process in itself.
