Education and research opportunities leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Candidates for admission should have demonstrated research interest as well as theoretical and laboratory training in general biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, and mathematics.

Entering students are expected to devote the first year to courses and laboratory training designed to aid them in selecting the area in which they would like to do research. Areas available for research include microbial pathogenesis, virology, immunology, medical mycology, and bacteriology.

The academic year consists of three terms: the fall term begins in mid-August and lasts to the middle of December; the spring term begins in January and lasts to the middle of May.
