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.

Incoming students are expected to devote their 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, mycology, parasitology, and bacteriology. The first semester for incoming students begins in early August.

The academic year consists of three terms: the fall term runs from mid-August through mid-December; and the spring term begins in January and runs through May. Students normally spend the summer term engaged in full-time research.

For specific requirements for the MIP Department, please see MIP requirements.
We will begin to accept applications for Fall 2022 in Fall 2021. Please wait to apply until the application process goes online. Successful applicants will begin studies in the Fall semester 2022.
