微生物学研究生课程
微生物学理学硕士
The 微生物学理学硕士 program emphasizes research methodology and laboratory techniques. Student research and academic programs support a strong foundation of knowledge in microbiology and are individually tailored to meet the needs and interests of each student. Graduates are prepared for positions in research or commercial laboratories or for further graduate study. Students select a major adviser by the end of the first semester in residence. By the end of the first year in residence, the student and major adviser will select a supervisory committee. Students can earn a 微生物学理学硕士 by completing a research thesis under the advisement of a research faculty member or by completing a comprehensive research paper in the program.
Graduating comprehensive master's students will be able to:
- Adhere to ethical and professional standards in 微生物学.

Ph.微生物学博士
The program for a Doctorate in 微生物学 encompasses many sub-disciplines, including:
- Plant-microbe and animal-microbe interactions
- 微生物研究
- 病毒学
- 疫苗开发
- 土壤微生物学
- 生物膜研究
- 免疫学
- Discipline-based education research
The program trains students in the foundation of knowledge, 调查过程, 微生物学哲学. It breaks with traditional programs by focusing training on seven well-defined learning outcomes that can be attained with or without supporting coursework. This includes outcomes for professional, ethical, and civic development. Graduates are prepared for a variety of career paths including academic or industry research and academic teaching.
Graduating doctorate students will be able to:
