Harris, Kit Lam (Medicine), James T. Sinski (Emeritus) Assistant Professor Rodney Adam (Medicine) Research Associate Professor Carol Bernstein Lecturer Vivian Gage The Department of Microbiology and Immunology offers a course of study applicable to general and applied sciences in agriculture, allied health, biology and medicine. The major provides a strong foundation for graduate study in microbiology, immunology, molecular biology and genetics, as well as a preprofessional program for students seeking admission to schools of medicine and dentistry. The department offers the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with majors in microbiology and immunology. For graduate admission and degree requirements consult the Graduate Catalog. For undergraduate courses, see Undergraduate Program of Microbiology (MIC) listed separately. 501.
