Biomedical sciences, especially Microbiology and Immunology, play a crucial role in modern public health, policy, and education. Professionals skilled in these fields are essential across various sectors, including food and pharmaceutical industries, healthcare, national research initiatives, and beyond. Students drawn to Microbiology and Immunology often have diverse academic backgrounds and may pursue multiple career paths. This master's program is designed for those who need additional research or academic preparation before pursuing a Ph.D., or whose professional goals require foundational Microbiology and Immunology knowledge rather than doctoral-level expertise. The University of Michigan's master's program provides customized research and academic training to align with individual student needs while maintaining rigorous graduate standards.
Prerequisites for admission, with the possibility of remediation of limited deficiencies after admission, will include completion of a bachelor's degree and the equivalent of upper division undergraduate coursework in introductory biochemistry, molecular genetics, and cell biology.
