<p>these 2 things seem the same thing as epidemiology…Bs in public health?</p>

<p>Both immunology and pathology are graduate biology/ biomedical science programs.</p>

<p>Undergrad public health is a combination of anthropology; psychology; public health theory, policy, and philosophy; history; ethics and statistics. A BS in public health will not prepare a student to pursue graduate studies in either immunology or pathology.</p>

<p>Immunology and/or pathology generally require an undergrad degree in biology or biochemistry.</p>

<p>Immunology happens to be my field, and WOWMom is right. Epidemiology is more akin to Statistics than it is to Immunology or Pathology. Students entering Immunology graduate programs come in with a variety of undergrad majors, the most common being Microbiology, Biochemistry, or just plain Biology.</p>
