Reputation of USC's Biostats PhD program

[bob loblaw]

So I'm increasingly more interested in biostats programs (over stats programs) and I came across this link: https://ww2.amstat.org/misc/BiostatsPhD2003-MostRecent.pdf

I noticed USC (Univ. of Southern California) is listed on there and I didn't even know they had a program.   

Does anyone know anything about this program (reputation, etc.)?  Their research emphasis on environmental health/preventative medicine seems interesting.

I didn't know they had a program either. I cannot speak to whether their graduates are able to get good jobs doing applied statistics, but this is not a top 20 biostatistics program. The program barely has any math requirements for admission and I don't see any methodological research going on.
