crayola_deville Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Hi, I originally applied to the MPH-Epi program at UTexas. Got a call from their Dept. of Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences saying that the Epi comittee transferred my app to them instead (saying it was a better "fit") few weeks later, I was accepted, into the Health Promotion program. I love the idea of going to UT, but this isn't the degree I originally wanted. Should I go and try to customize it with epi elements? does this type of thing happen often?? is UTexas a flexible school in terms of customizing curriculum? Any advice appreciated!
AlphacentauriC Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 - what is the terminal degree you want? Epi or HPromo - if its epi, do accept the offer. - however, if the terminal degree is a general one that doesn't require hardcore epi elements, then accept the offer.
crayola_deville Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 well, I was really gunning for a terminal degree in Epi. I do eventually want to get a doctorate.

If you're not interested in going into Health Promotion, then don't accept the offer. I'm not sure how easy it is to change concentrations at UTexas, but I wouldn't choose to risk it if I were you.
