Ideally, the preliminary exam is taken after all curse wrk has been cmpleted, but it may be taken earlier with cnsent f the academic advisr. Perfrmance Standards In additin t schl-wide standards, n grade belw B is acceptable in any Epidemilgy r Bistatistics required curse. If a grade belw B is achieved in such a curse, it may be repeated nce. Failure t maintain this standard will be grunds fr dismissal frm the Epidemilgy Prgram.
