Introduction to Graduate 研究 (MICR 701; 1-3 credits) 

This course is designed to help students acclimate to graduate research and create a foundation to be successful in their graduate career. Course topics range from the process of scientific research to mental health during graduate school.  

Scientific Integrity (UNIV 720; 1 credit) or equivalent graduate ethics course  

A survey of contemporary issues relating to responsible conduct in research including academic integrity, 指导, 科学记录, 基因技术. Class sessions will involve student discussion of case studies that emphasizes a particular scientific ethical dilemma.

微生物学 Seminar (MICR 790; 1 credit; once per year) 

微生物学研讨会.  Students will periodically present their own work and they will take responsibility for evaluating the presentations of their peers.  Regionally, nationally and internationally renowned speakers also present. When no presentation is schedule students will take turns leading discussion of research articles.  

Student Portfolio (MICR 893; 1 credit; once per year) 

This will be a one-credit course reserved for students in the 微生物学 Graduate program.  Students will enroll in this course once per year and the course will coincide with the annual self-report and assessment.  本课程将以S/U为基础评分, and the student’s supervisory committee is responsible for informing the Graduate Program Coordinator of the score. 

Doctoral Dissertation 研究 (MICR 899; variable credits, minimum 30 credits to graduate)
