PROGRAM INFORMATION
Faculty: College of Graduate Studies and Research
Degree: Doctorate
Field of Study: Microbiological Sciences and Immunology, Other;
Description: The Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Saskatchewan offers graduate programs leading to M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. All aspects of the graduate program in Microbiology are administered and monitored by the departmental Graduate Affairs Committee (GAC), chaired by a faculty member appointed by the Head of Microbiology. The department has expertise necessary for the instruction and training of advanced students in areas that include cellular and molecular biology of eukaryotes, microbial genetics and molecular biology, immunology, medical microbiology, medical virology, microbial physiology, and molecular virology of eukaryotes. Students are generally admitted for advanced study and specialization in one of these seven subspecialties. The department selects graduate students from among a wide pool of applicants, including honours students in Microbiology at the U. so S., as well as Canadian and foreign students with degrees in microbiology and related disciplines. Typically, new students enter into a M.Sc. program and are transferred in their second or third year to a Ph.D. program, upon demonstrated performance in graduate coursework, satisfactory laboratory research progress, and the successful completion of a Qualifying examination. Emphasis is directed toward attracting students capable of transferring into a Ph.D. program, and who would be competitive for University of Saskatchewan graduate scholarships.
