Future Students
The Bachelor of Science (BS) in immunology and medical microbiology (IMMB) offers strong preparation for immediate employment or postgraduate studies. As part of the curriculum, students receive training in both the function of the immune system and the ways in which microscopic organisms - including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites - cause disease.
IMMB students have access to hands-on learning opportunities in research in basic science laboratories, starting during the freshman year. As they progress through the undergraduate program, they also enjoy opportunities to engage in paid research in such areas as infectious diseases and cancer cell biology; and to complete internships in biosafety, flow cytometry, microscopy and imaging, animal behavior, and more.

“To any incoming freshmen, make sure to introduce yourself to other peers during the first week of classes. I know it can seem nerve-wracking at first, but some of the people you meet at the beginning may stick with you for all four years.”
