Immunology

This program was established in 1973, as a joint venture of the Departments of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, and Physiology, and reflects the strong interest and research activities in immunology of these three departments. This is a demanding, highly structured program, which has the advantage of preparing the student for graduate training in immunology in any one of the three participating departments.This program is comprised of a core of 56 credits in basic science courses in cell and molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry and physiology. An additional 21 complementary credits may be selected from a broad selection of science courses. The remaining 13 credits are free electives, enabling the student to explore related science disciplines. Finally, an undergraduate research project, seminar and thesis provide an opportunity to directly experience research work in a laboratory with a professor of immunology.
