The job outlook for those holding a master’s degree in public health with a specialization in biostatistics and epidemiology is very positive. In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of epidemiologists is expected to grow in state and local governments over the next few years.
Additionally, the job market for biostatisticians is predicted to increase by 34% from 2020 to 2024. This growth rate is attributed to the continued growth of the pharmaceutical field and the emphasis on statistical analysis in decision-making for health-related organizations and health policy rulings.
