How is the the Biostatistics Programs in NYU? Any ranking?

[Tedddddddy]

There are two biostatistics Ph.D. programs at NYU. One is at medical school, and the other one is at the school of global public health. Which program is better? And how are the two programs ranked among all biostatistics programs?

Well, the SPH department only has 1 full professor, 2 associates, and 3 assistants. Of those, only 4 were trained in stats / biostats departments. 

Their Med School department is much larger, having more senior faculty. But if you look at their publications, they are more focused on public health / epi than methodological work. They do publish in high impact medical journals like NEJM. 

Among the ranked biostatistics programs, I would say they aren't really comparable. It depends on what you want out of it. If you want to work in industry, it likely doesn't matter too much. If you want to work in academia, I think it would be difficult.
