“There were many aspects of the MAS program that I liked; however, I really enjoyed the course series on Epidemiology and Biostatistics. The second quarter epidemiology course was great as it covered a wide variety of topics in applied epidemiology. The Biostatistics courses were also excellent and the data sets analyzed throughout each of the courses come from real-life data generated from previously conducted clinical studies.”
- Robert T. Saiz
“The MAS program at UC San Diego provided me with a unique opportunity to comprehensively study clinical research methodology and protocol while simultaneously allowing me to conduct clinic research. Such a balance allowed me to directly implement what I learned in the classroom to my research on a daily basis, maximizing my experience. “

“The program was great since it not only gave me a better understanding of bio-statistics, epidemiology, and clinical research design, but also allowed me to work with other MAS students on manuscripts for publication.”
