What courses do most first-year students take?
There is significant variability, depending on your background, interests, and future directions. A useful resource to consider is the listing of Bacteriology and Medical Microbiology & Immunology courses counting toward the major given in the document describing the Microbiology Program. Once you arrive on campus, you will also be guided by the faculty and students who serve on the Advising Committee as well as (formally or informally) by senior graduate students who have taken the courses.
