FAQs

• How much time as a first-year student is spent on coursework?

  

  Typically about 50%, with the remainder being spent on lab rotations and getting started in the lab you select for thesis research. Students usually take two, 2-4-credit hour courses per semester (in addition to MDTP student seminar and Micro 810/811) the first year.

• Is health insurance provided?

  

  You have access to the same choices for excellent and comprehensive health care as do faculty and staff. This includes a variety of HMOs and fee-for-service options, and includes vision and dental coverage. The current cost for health insurance is $44.00 for an individual and $105.50 per month for a family plan. If you choose a fee-for-service option, your contribution to the premium will be substantially more. You may find that this situation is substantially more attractive and economical than situations in which health insurance is not wholly or largely covered, or in which you are limited to special student health care

• What courses do most first-year students take?

  

  There is significant variability, depending on your background, interests, and future directions. A useful resource to consider is the listing of Bacteriology and Medical Microbiology & Immunology courses counting toward the major. Before you arrive on campus, you will also be guided by the faculty and students who serve on the Advising Committee as well as (formally or informally) by senior graduate students who have taken the courses.
