The Master of Science in Infectious Disease program, offered by the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and by the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Disease (IMMID), provides graduate-level training in the area of infectious disease. Classroom activities, online learning, and research experiences cover fundamentals of molecular biology, cell biology, and immunology, as well as basic, translational, and clinical aspects of diseases caused by important infectious pathogens, including HIV, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aurous (MRSA), malarial parasites, influenza virus, and Zia virus. Elective courses offer highly focused studies of topics relevant to infectious disease, including: vaccines and vaccine development; viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal pathogens; emerging pathogens; principles of bio containment; and experimental therapeutics. The program is designed to prepare students for careers in infectious disease in government, industry, and academic environments. The program is ideally suited for enhancing the scientific credentials of recent college graduates, early career scientists, premedical students, industrial employees, and clinical laboratory technicians. Curriculum The non-thesis program includes four semesters (two academic years) of required and elective graduate courses, as well as a comprehensive research internship to be completed during the course of the training program. Although most students will complete the program in two years, some may opt to enroll on a part-time basis, taking up to four years to complete the degree program. Elective courses available to students in the program provide knowledge and expertise in areas relevant to infectious disease research, such as emerging infectious diseases, vaccines and vaccine development, bio techniques and laboratory research, and principles of bio containment. The successful completion of the degree will be determined by grades obtained in the graduate courses, participation in seminars and journal clubs, and performance in the research component. A minimum of 36.0 credits is required to graduate, with at least 6.0 of those earned as research credits.
