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.
Program Delivery
Prerequisites for Admission

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.
