Microbiology Graduate Courses  

The program of coursework taken by MS and PhD students is jointly decided by the student and their thesis committee.  Because of the breadth of interests represented, the Microbiology Program does not have a core sequence of courses. Students have substantial latitude in choosing courses from among Microbiology (MB) listings and courses in other colleges and departments that are pertinent to their program.   Examples are listed below.
