Experimental Work |
*When a Designated Emphasis (for example Biotechnology, Vector Borne Diseases) is pursued, all required class work (for the DE) must be completed in addition to the required class work for Immunology before sitting the qualifying examination (QE). 1 – 2 classes can still be ongoing in the quarter in which the QE is held. In that case advance to candidacy will occur only after classes are taken successfully.
** Each quarter (FWS) enrollment has to be for a minimum of 12 units
*** Non-GGI elective courses to be chosen in discussion with mentor and student adviser. A minimum of 6 units is required
Please note that for each laboratory unit (IMM201L or 299 research units), 3 hours of laboratory research time are required/week. Therefore, for 5 units of IMM201L will translate to 15 hours/week during the laboratory rotation.
