Would it be smart to minor in Biology, if I plan to master in Epidemiology?

OR study the field.

Epidemiology is the study of causes, distribution and control of diseases in a population. It has a very broad aspect of different subject such as social science, biology and stats.

What would you recommend I minor in? Or should I not minor in anything as all and take classes in general to prepare me well for Epidemiology.

    It probably depends more on your major. I'm looking at epidemiology too, and they seem to accept majors from different fields like psychology, biology, etc. Of course (as an exaggerated example), if you're getting an English degree, it's probably a good idea to minor in Biology. Even then, that is most likely insufficient.
