majority consists of reading and writing papers and short essays.

Biostatistics tends to be the most difficult course from an analytical standpoint.

Some also struggle with epidemiology.

DO NOT take biostatistics online if there is a choice. I don't think math skills will be a serious problem if you have a good professor. It's just a different way of thinking. Don't enter into the class feeling intimidated because you will continue to feel that way and fail.
Bottom line, it's not that bad. Just go for it.

If you struggle at the beginning, make sure you get help early so that you don't fall behind.

So just how rigorous are biostatistics and epidemiology at the MPH level? I read, on Emory's website I think, that real analysis was recommended for PhD level biostats. I think I've also read that basic calculus is sufficient preparation for an MPH. Those of you who have already done your MPH, what classes what would you recommend past the ones usually required for admission?
