病理学系提供通向硕士和博士学位的学位的研究，但优先考虑博士学位申请者而不是硕士申请者。在申请理学硕士课程之前，学生必须咨询研究生课程主任。该部门还参加了医学科学家培训计划。该部门的研究重点是在分子，细胞，器官，整个生物体和人群水平上使用多种方法，包括流行病学。最初，学生沉浸在综合课程中，然后他们在所选病理学领域完成了专门的培训，包括但不限于癌症预防，癌症生物标志物，分子和遗传流行病学，肿瘤生物学以及癌症发展机制和进步。所有领域都集中在病理学，癌症研究和流行病学的翻译和跨学科方面。
The Department of Pathology offers studies leading to degrees at both the master's and doctoral levels, but gives priority to doctoral applicants over master's applicants. Before applying to the Master of Science Program, students are required to consult the director of graduate studies. The department also participates in the Medical Scientist Training Program. The department is oriented toward the study of disease at the molecular, cellular, organ, whole organism, and population levels, using a wide range of approaches including epidemiology. Students are initially immersed in an integrated curriculum and later they complete specialized training in an area of pathology of their choice, including, but not limited to, cancer prevention, biomarkers of cancer, molecular and genetic epidemiology, tumor biology, and mechanisms of cancer development and progression. All areas focus on translational and transdisciplinary aspects of pathology, cancer research, and epidemiology.
