I am also planning to join masters in biostatistics. I would love to hear the scopes of it. Hey Nepsguy in which school are you planning to apply??

If your background is statistics, nutrition is not a good option. If you are in Boston area try BU.

For biosat, it takes like 3 years to complete Master. It has to be 48-51 credits. Hw about the job market of biostat and nutrition, though market is changing... Im looking university in TX/OK.

the way i see it, biostat has a good job prospect, although it might pull some hair outta your head, there are lot of pharma and biotech companies , hiring them in contract or contract to perm or perm positions with a really good salary and most of them are ready to file sponsorship for those who need it. and you also have an option to teach in medical schools abroad , even with a masters.
