MS Biostats VS MS Bioinformatics VS MS Biology

<p>Which one has the best job prospects?</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>The right question is which one are you most interested in?</p>

<p>I would say that bioinformatics probably has the best job prospects, followed by biostatistics and then biology. But none of that matters if you hate computer science or math.</p>

<p>Getting a MS Biostats is really different from MS Biology. Biostats is heavily math and comp. sci. focused with a little bit of bio. But I know biostats has decent job prospects. When I was asking the program coordinator at georgetown about their biostats program, she told me about some of the places the alums ended up at, like being biostatisticians at the henry jackson foundation, or researchers at brown or duke, or working for various pharmaceutical companies.</p>
