MI-MS - Microbiology and Immunology (MS)

Transfer credit may be considered at the discretion of the Director of Graduate Studies.

The Department of Microbiology and Immunology is committed to providing academic advising in support of graduate student scholarly and professional development. When most effective, this advising relationship entails collaborative and sustained engagement by both the adviser and the advisee. As a best practice, advising expectations should be periodically discussed and reviewed to ensure mutual understanding. Both the adviser and the advisee are expected to maintain professionalism and integrity.

Faculty advisers guide students in key areas such as selecting courses, designing and conducting research, development of teaching and mentoring skills, navigating policies and degree requirements, and exploring academic opportunities and professional pathways.

Graduate students are active contributors to the advising relationship, proactively seeking academic and professional guidance and taking responsibility for informing themselves of policies and degree requirements for their graduate program.

Additional information about the department's policy on graduate advising can be found on the Microbiology and Immunology  website. For a statement of University policy on graduate advising, see the "Graduate Advising" section of this bulletin.
