What are the major and minor coursework requirements and what is the nature of the minor?
Major: 10 credit hours are required. All students are required to take 2 semesters of the one credit course current issues in microbiology (MMI 810/Micro 811). At least 3 courses must come from the major course list. (see Program Requirements). Minor: 10 credit hours, which may be in a single department (Biochemistry, Genetics, etc.). However, the vast majority of students choose a distributed minor option that can be satisfied by choosing courses from one or more other departments. Courses from Bacteriology or Medical Microbiology & Immunology, including those listed in the program document can also count towards a distributed minor if approved by your thesis committee. Ultimately, a student’s thesis committee approves the major and minor courses, within programmatic and University guidelines.
