Overview
The Graduate program provides a sound foundation in molecular, genetic and cellular approaches to immunological problems. The curriculum consists of 1 year of didactic coursework followed by advancement to candidacy early in the second year. Throughout the program students will engage in stimulating discussion of current immunlogic advancements through participation in several research seminars and journal clubs.
In the second through fourth years, students will focus entirely on their thesis research. The highly accomplished faculty of the Program provide a wide variety of research experiences for the student to choose from ranging from basic immunological mechanisms to the study of immune dysfunction in human disease. At the completion of this program, the student will have a solid foundation in state-of-the-art immunologic, molecular, genetic, and genomics approaches to conducting medical research and be well prepared to meet the biomedical challenges of the future.
Programs
Students can enter the graduate program in pursuit of either a master's degree or a doctoral degree. The typical course of study requires 2 years for a master's degree and 4 to 5 years for the doctoral degree.
