Diversity/Minority Information
The Biostatistics Department recognizes the value of diversity within the student body and in the biostatistics field. We strive to provide an environment that encourages participation by students from a wide range of backgrounds. The department welcomes students who have varied cultural experiences or educationally or economically disadvantaged backgrounds. If you wish to have these factors included in the review of your application, your personal statement should include information concerning cultural and educational opportunities (or lack thereof), social and economic disadvantages that you may have had to overcome, and the ways in which these experiences affected you.The Graduate Opportunities and Minority Achievement Program offers events, networking, and funding opportunities which may be of interest to minority applicants. Their web site is located here. Please also visit our School's Student Services Office web site for more information and opportunities.
