The professional, non-thesis Master of Science in Microbiology-Immunology (MS-B) is designed to strengthen the scientific academic portfolio of those seeking professional degrees and provide differentiating preparation for those seeking careers in industry. You will work side-by-side one of the leading microbiology and immunology departments in the nation as you develop your professional knowledge and skills.

With the growth of biotechnology and the increase in technology and specialization in applied microbiological sciences, there is a significant regional and national need for additional educational opportunities for individuals wishing to pursue a career in these industries. In addition, many students wish to pursue additional post-baccalaureate studies due to a variety of interests such as improved preparation for professional (medical, veterinary, DO, etc.) schools or PhD programs. The MIP department's MS-B provides an excellent opportunity to meet these needs. As a recognized world leader in infectious disease basic and translational research with over $144 million in active extramurally funded research programs – including a good variety of translational efforts that interface with industrial partners, the MIP department is uniquely positioned in our region to effectively provide this training.
