<p>Absolutely. Most Epidimeology programs will be part of an interdisciplanary group that will include Public Health, BioStatistics (or just Statistics if no seperate Bio programs). As an epi, your job is analysising statistical data to determine public-health trends and patterns. As such you will need a good bio background; however you will be relying MORE on your quantitative skills. </p>
<p>AP Stats is a good start; I’m not familiar with the coursework, but I imagine it is the equivalent of a non-calculus based lower division introductory statistics class. It’s not neccessary, but if you continue on this path, and your college of choice offers it, I would enroll in a calculus based stats class next; a lot of the same material, but if you have time in between your calculus and upper division stats, it will help A LOT. </p>
