back to Department Regulations & Policies


The Department of Microbiology and Immunology does not admit students directly into a masters graduate program. A student in the Ph.D. Program may petition the Department Head and the Faculty for approval to transfer from the departmental Ph.D. program to the M.S. program. Approval is unlikely to be granted except in very special circumstances. A student in the M.S. program is not eligible for stipend support from the Department and will not receive a tuition waiver or any Departmental funds.
