Courses in Immunology
To complete a PhD degree, students in the Field of Immunology are required to take the following courses:
8 credit hours from:
VETMI 315 (BIOG 305): Basic Immunology
Survey of immunology, with emphasis on the cellular and molecular bases of the
immune response. Fall. 3 Credits.
VETMI 705 (BIOG 705): Advanced Immunology
Coverage at an advanced level of molecular and cellular immunology. Spring,
Offered even-numbered years. Spring. 3 credits.
VETMI 719 (BIOG 706): Immunology of Infectious Diseases
Focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the immunity to infectious
diseases caused by viral, bacterial, protozoan, and helminth pathogens. Spring.
Offered odd-numbered years. 2 credits.
VETMI 712: Seminars in Infection & Immunity
Invited speakers in immunology and infection biology acquaint students with current advances in the field. For seminar schedule and speaker list, see the web site at http://www.vet.cornell.edu/public/InfectionAndPathobiology/seminar_fall.htm and http://www.vet.cornell.edu/public/InfectionAndPathobiology/seminar_spring.htm. Fall, Spring. 1 credit. (Students in the Field are required to register for all semesters that they are in residence)
VETMI 723: Current Topics in Immunology
Immunology discussion group in which students present research papers from the contemporary scientific literature. Fall, Spring. 1credit. (Students in the Field are required to register for all semesters that they are in residence)
In addition to the courses listed above, there are a number of other courses with immunology content that students may elect to take or faculty may recommend. Some of these courses include:
