The Microbiology Graduate Program (MGP) offers advanced education in fundamental scientific fields such as microbiology, immunology, and food safety, adopting a comprehensive scientific perspective. Participants will build a diverse academic background while specializing in at least one scientific area. The program primarily centers on microbiology and microbial pathogens affecting livestock and people, particularly focusing on infectious diseases and immune system reactions. Alumni typically secure positions in educational, governmental, and corporate settings.
Program acceptance requires a Microbiology faculty member's pledge to guide the candidate and provide sufficient resources for degree completion. Consequently, MGP students benefit from having an assigned advisor from day one. A restricted number of Graduate Assistantships are offered by the School of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences.
