A student can pursue a Biology major and a Community Health Education minor with a focus in Epidemiology. The student should elect the General Track with the following modification: BIOL 313 must be selected as one of the two Biology electives at the 300/400 level. The student should also complete the requirements for the minor in Community Health Education  with the following caveat: HED 342, 372, 431, and 442 must be selected as the four upper-level courses.
