The Master of Science in Microbiology & Immunology is a flexible program of study designed to help students achieve their individual educational goals and career objectives. The proximity of the Department of Microbiology & Immunology to the National Institutes of Health and other organizations provides our students a unique learning environment with rarely available insights into the national response to the emerging problems of infectious diseases. A broad range of course offerings from within the department and university allows the students to gain or enhance their background in microbiology, immunology, and various aspects of modern molecular genetics. Laboratory experience in specialized techniques is also available.
This program is offered through Biomedical Graduate Education (BGE) at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
Students must complete 30 credits of coursework, including 18 credits of required courses and 12 credits of electives.
Electives are chosen from a broad range of the Medical Center department course offerings.
