Programs

The Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology (MMI) is committed to providing outstanding training toward understanding infectious disease processes at all levels, from the population through organismal, tissue, cellular, and molecular aspects of public health biology. Our programs seeks to equip carefully selected graduate and postgraduate students with the diverse disciplinary concepts and methodological tools needed to address critical biological issues underlying a broad range of infectious and immunologic diseases of public health importance.

Providing excellence and depth in research training and mentoring, the Department continuously engages in innovating its graduate curricula guided through its R3 Center for Innovation in Science Education. MMI offers a PhD Program, a two-year Master of Science (ScM) degree, as well as a 9-month Master of Health Science (MHS) degree.
