A unique aspect of our Graduate Program is that students take all of their required formal coursework in the first year. The core curriculum for this year consists of coursework in bacteriology, bacterial genetics, immunology, virology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. An advantage to finishing formal coursework in the first year is that students can then devote themselves to research full time.
