Realizing that students enter graduate school with very different career goals, we offer personalized advising and help achieving those goals. Career options are discussed in a Research Ethics and Career Development Course, and each student's thesis advisory committee works with the student to define clear graduate school and career goals and design strategies to meet them. Virology research emphasis includes mechanisms of viral infection, morphogenesis, and replication. New students participate in "lab rotations" to sample the interests, approaches, and styles of three different laboratories. This allows informed decisions about what area of research to pursue and which laboratory to join. All doctoral students are fully supported with assistanceships or fellowships for at least five years. Master's students are supported for up to two years.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required: 90  Time To Degree: Average 6 years    Previous Degrees B.A. or B.S. from an accredited institution.  Pre-Requisite Courses Minimum entrance requirements include an undergraduate major in one of the biological sciences or in a related field (such as chemistry, physics, or mathematics).
