Note: The minor in epidemiology is open only to students enrolled in master's and doctoral programs outside of the School of Public Health. Students enrolled in master's and doctoral programs in the School of Public Health are not eligible for this minor because the requirements in the epidemiology minor are part of their major field of study.

Other requirements to be completed before admission:

Admission to the epidemiology graduate minor is contingent upon prior admission to a University of Minnesota master's or doctoral degree-granting program. Students should first consult with their major program adviser about the advisability of a minor in epidemiology. They will then need to contact the director of graduate studies assistant, Andrea Kish, at kish@umn.edu for minor information.

The master's minor requires at least 8 credits. The doctoral minor requires 12 credits: 10 credits in epidemiology and biostatistics, and 2 credits in epidemiology or methods courses. The director of graduate studies must approve the student's selection of elective credits. The doctoral minor offers two 12-credit options. Option 1, for students with prior epidemiology training, consists of PUBH 8341 (3 credits), PUBH 8342 (3 credits), PUBH 7401 (4 credits), and two credits of electives in an epidemiology- or biostatistics-related area, to be approved by the epidemiology DGS. Option 2, for students without extensive epidemiology/biostatistics training, consists of PUBH 6341 (3 credits), PUBH 6342 (3 credits), PUBH 6450 (4 credits), and two credits of electives in an epidemiology- or biostatistics-related area, to be approved by the epidemiology DGS.
