The Department of Molecular and Biomedical Sciences offers programs in graduate studies leading to a Ph.D. in Microbiology.
The curriculum plan is variable and will take into account each student’s goals for graduate study and the content of his or her previous preparation.
The master’s program generally requires two to three years for completion, while the time for completion for a doctorate is typically four to six years.
Students may choose from biomedical research areas such as innate immunity, signal transduction, toll-like receptors, immunotoxicology, virology, bacteriology, host-pathogen interactions, and infectious disease.
