Why QBS?. Interdisciplinary programs have always appealed to me, and while QBS & Health Data Sciences are likely thought of as applied math and science, the statistical methodologies we will be using, as opposed to a more pure computer-science lens, will give me the theoretical and conceptual background I prefer and am excited for.
