Wen-Wei Liu Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hi, everybody. I have already planned to go to Emory University; however, I got the admission form Duke University yesterday. So I want to compare Duke Biostatistics MS with Emory Biostatistics MSPH (both of them do not offer any funding). I am the international student and want to stay in the U.S. to find a job after graduation. Could anyone give me any suggestion? Thanks! Here are what I know: Emory- more established, USNEWS ranking #6 in public health, USNEWS ranking #38 in statistics, near CDC (maybe have more opportunity to find the internship) Duke- new program, not yet has PhD program, under School of Medicine, Duke is much more well-known than Emory (this is only my view) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwulf Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think that Emory is the better program. Its name is well recognized within the biostats/public health community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDS! Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Duke is much more well-known than Emory Well known in what? This isn't undergrad; the quality of the department is worth more than the quality of the name in many fields. Also Emory folks have been known to lurk around here. . .assuming you're using your full name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Biostatistics is under School of Medicine. I think both schools are great in different fields. (Duke-School of Medicine-Medicine/ Emory-Rollins School of Public Health-Public Health) BTW, I use my facebook account to log in, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
