微生物学和免疫学哲学博士

IU医学院的微生物学和免疫学系提供博士学位课程，通常在五年内完成。该课程旨在使学生尽快进入实验室及其预期的学位论文项目。在第一年的课程工作之后，通过IBMG计划，学生通常在第二年的课程中获得4个学分的学分，并开始专注于他们的研究。在第二学年末通过资格考试后，学生将升读博士学位，主要将时间用于论文研究项目。该计划为学生做好了从事研究型科学家，教职员工或所选领域其他领导职务的生产性职业的准备。对学术职业感兴趣的学生可以利用现代教学理论的介绍来获得教学经验。<br> <br> <br>认识到微生物学和免疫学的学
The Department of Microbiology and Immunology at IU School of Medicine offers a PhD program that is typically completed in about five years. The curriculum is designed to move students into the laboratory and their prospective dissertation project as quickly as possible. Following the first year of course work, through the IBMG program, students usually take four credits of course work in their second year and begin to focus on their research. After passing the qualifying examination at the end of their second year, students advance to PhD candidacy and devote their time primarily to their dissertation research projects. The program prepares students for productive careers as research scientists, as faculty, or in other leadership positions in their chosen fields. Opportunities to gain teaching experience with introduction to modern teaching theory are available for students interested in academic careers.<br><br>As the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at IU School of Medicine has grown to encompass many specialty areas, PhD students can specialize within the disciplines of pathogenesis, immunology, cancer, hematopoiesis and gene transfer therapy.<br><br>To earn a PhD degree in Microbiology and Immunology through IU School of Medicine, a student must complete a total of 90 credits, 40 credits must in research. At least 26 credits should be completed in course work, of which 14 credits are within a student's major and the remaining 12 credits are in the student's chosen minor. Participation in weekly departmental seminars and journal club forums and attending and presenting at the department's student seminar series at least once each year are also required. Attendance is reported to mentor and committee for consideration in assigning research grades. This PhD curriculum trains excellent biomedical researchers who become independent, creative investigators.
